ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Tucked away in the list of players the Denver Broncos brought to their facility for visits before the 2022 draft was a cornerback some scouts thought was a little too small and a tick or two slow on the stopwatch.
But those looking for Ja'Quan McMillian these days can really just follow the ball.
"There are certain players, the ball finds them," said Broncos coach Sean Payton. "He seems to have those traits ... his enthusiasm is kind of contagious."
McMillian has gone from being a game-day inactive in the Broncos' season-opening loss versus the Las Vegas Raiders to a bit of a revelation as the nickel cornerback in the NFL's most turnover-happy defense.
