"I feel like I can lean on any of the coaches, any of the players here, and then vice versa, they can lean on me. So, I'm just looking forward to playing this season and more to come, and I'm super excited to see what we do."
As for what the Panthers offense and TMac can do, there is a blueprint (presumably) in place. Coach Dave Canales spent a year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the offensive coordinator. During that time, he coached future Hall-of-Famer Mike Evans, scheming the receiver to 1,255 yards and 13 touchdowns, both marking or tied for the second-highest respective numbers in Evans' illustrious career.
Evans is currently 6-5 231 pounds, but he clocked in at the NFL combine back in 2014 at 225 pounds. He's made a career of bodying defenders who test him for 50-50 balls. McMillan is 6-4 212 pounds, with the chance to add more weight, and bullied opponents while at Arizona in a way that drew comparisons to Evans so often that McMillan jokes he's tired of watching Mike Evans tape now but knows there's more coming soon.
"I'm sure Coach Canales and Coach Moore is going to show me a lot of Mike Evans' film here in the future. So, I better get comfortable watching those tapes."
