McMillan generated 37 catches for 461 yards with eight touchdowns. Like many mid-round rookies, it took time for the young wideout to hit his stride. Down the stretch, the third-round pick took off. In the final five games, he generated seven touchdowns, 316 yards and 24 catches.
Were it not for the Bucs bringing back Godwin — whose availability to open the season remains cloudy — and drafting Egbuka in the first round, McMillan would be on dang near every offseason list to make a giant leap forward in production in 2025. The wideout flashed immense upside last season when given greater opportunities.
Considering Godwin’s injury potentially lingering and Egbuka getting his feet wet, McMillan has a chance to prove he deserves reps early in camp and into the regular season.
With Evans entering the twilight of his career, the Bucs ensured in the last two drafts that they wouldn’t fall off at receiver when he eventually walks away. If McMillan and Egbuka grow into the next great Bucs duo, it would be a gaudy feather in Jason Licht’s cap.
