'Something special' in Panthers' Young-McMillan connection?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It was a normal throwing session at the University of Arizona indoor practice facility last May when new Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan did something that was not normal at all.

The No. 8 pick of the 2025 NFL draft launched himself into the air, spun to his left and caught the ball across his body with his right hand. As the spin continued in the air, McMillan brought the ball between his legs to his left hand, then quickly passed it back through his legs to his right hand before landing with a big smile on his face.
