First look at WR Tetairoa McMillan in his Panthers uniform

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan looked awfully good when he hit the NFL practice field for the first time this past week.

“He looks smooth, easy to throw to—just like we thought,” head coach Dave Canales told reporters after Friday’s outing of rookie minicamp. “I got a chance to kinda bop around between offense and defense. But in the little bit that I saw—I’ll go back and watch a little bit more—but the little bit I saw with the individual drills, you can see the route-crafting, the guy just works on his craft. He comes in ready to go, so really excited about it.”

But did he look just as good when putting on an NFL uniform for the first time?

McMillan was one of about 40 2025 draft picks to attend this year’s NFL Players Association Rookie Premiere event. And he, along with teammate and fourth-round running back Trevor Etienne, got to sport the full Panthers threads on Saturday.

Those rookies, and those uniforms, may be in real on-field action for the first time later this summer—when the Panthers begin their preseason slate against the Cleveland Browns on Aug. 8.
