He&#8217;s notched six interceptions, a pair of pick sixes, 24 passes defensed, five forced fumbles, seven sacks, 195 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and nine quarterback hits.<\/p>\n<p>McMillian has recorded at least two interceptions in each of the last three seasons, and he&#8217;s tallied five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over that span.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, McMillian helped swing several games in the Broncos&#8217; favor. He recorded a game-clinching strip-sack in Denver&#8217;s opening win of the season over Tennessee, notched an interception and key third-down sack in a win over the Chiefs and had a pick six in a victory over the Chargers. McMillian also picked off Josh Allen in overtime of the Broncos&#8217; Divisional Round win to help set up Denver&#8217;s game-winning drive.<\/p>\n<p>A former undrafted free agent, McMillian&#8217;s seven total interceptions are the most by any Broncos player since the start of 2023, while his five forced fumbles are the second most on the team in that span.<\/p>\n<p>Other NFL clubs are still able to submit an offer sheet to McMillian until April 17. The Broncos would then have the chance to either match the offer or receive a second-round pick as compensation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ENGLEWOOD, Colo. \u2014 A playmaker in Denver&#8217;s secondary has officially signed his deal.
