Much has been made of Jalen Coker's injury just one day after the Carolina Panthers traded veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen to the Minnesota Vikings. While the timing is awful, it sets the stage for Tetairoa McMillan to instantly announce himself as the team's deadliest weapon.
The Panthers are expecting big things from McMillan in 2025. They had supreme faith in his abilities to take him at No. 8 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. He's done nothing to diminish optimism over the summer, so those in power should be expecting an immediate return on their investment.
