“Sometimes, even the best get got, you know, sometimes you get exposed, but, just being able to be confident in your preparation, being able to be confident in your abilities—the confidence is going to take you as far as you want it to take you, so, I feel like that’s where my resilience come from for sure.
“I’m not going to sugarcoat it,” McMillan said. “I’ll be the first to tell you, the first couple of days I struggled a little bit, and you know that’s hats off to the the DB corps just making me better every single day and, it’s just one of those days where I was just on point that day and hopefully we can continue stacking those days.”
McMillan knows stacking those days will look different in the league than it did in college. For starters, the regular season is five weeks longer. The offseason begins much sooner and is extended throughout the summer. And the break before a possible postseason run is shortened. So McMillan is preparing now.
“I’ve been in the facility early trying to get some treatment, trying to eat healthy, changing my diet, stuff like that, just doing little things. I want to play this game as long as I possibly can, and why not start now,” pointed out McMillan.
“So, I’m going to find those things that just keep on trying to make me the best version of myself I can be, and we’ll see how far we can take it.”
