**Bryce Young’s Fired Up About Panthers’ Rookie WR Tetairoa McMillan**
Things haven’t exactly been smooth sailing for Bryce Young in his first two NFL seasons — he’s rocking a rough 6-22 record as a starter. But heading into year three, Young’s feeling good, especially with Panthers head coach Dave Canales calling the shots again and a shiny new weapon in the lineup: first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan from Arizona.
“Man, Tetairoa’s a stud,” Young said on Tuesday. “You see why he went in the first round — hands, football IQ, you name it. He’s learning fast. It’s only day one, but he already looks like a guy who’s gonna make a real impact.”
And McMillan’s not the only young receiver catching Bryce’s eye. He also shouted out Jimmy Horn and Moose Muhammad, saying they’re all hungry and fun to throw to. “We’re just getting started, but the potential’s there for something special.”
McMillan joins a WR group with Xavier Legette, who led the Panthers in catches last season (49), and veteran Adam Thielen, who led in receiving yards (615) and touchdowns (5). Carolina’s hoping this mix of fresh talent and experience can finally spark the offense in 2025.
