McMillan had the best game of his already illustrious rookie season, bringing in eight receptions for 130 yards and two touchdowns. He is now sixth in the entire NFL with 748 yards on 54 receptions. He has four touchdowns.
After the big performance against the Falcons, McMillan now leads all rookie receivers in yardage. He led all Panthers’ receivers on Sunday as well. After the game, McMillan credited the entire receiving corps for what they were able to do.
“Shoot, honestly, I think we were executing all cylinders, every receiver was going off, just kind of expanding the offense and opening up holes for us. And so I wouldn’t be able to do it by myself at all,” McMillan said. “I mean, that’s big, our guys, the tight end room, the running backs, and especially our receivers coming in and making plays, you know, that’s huge just to fly around and execute on all cylinders.
“It only makes my job easier, makes Bryce’s job easier, and makes the play caller’s job easier just so that they can rely on any player on the offense.”
