Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan made himself quite a few memories throughout a stellar first season in the NFL. Which moment, however, stands out above the rest?
McMillan was asked that question on Wednesday, when he joined the set of Up & Adams from Super Bowl LX’s “Radio Row.” Here’s what he told host Kay Adams . . .
Unfortunately for McMillan and the Panthers, the Los Angeles Rams came out on top of a wild battle in the wild-card round. But, even in a heartbreaking 34-31 defeat, Carolina played host to a night the organization and their fans won’t soon forget.
In his playoff debut, McMillan recorded five receptions for 81 yards. One of those catches, as he so fondly remembers, was punctuated with a “dab” in tribute to franchise legend Cam Newton—who returned to Bank of America Stadium that evening as the game’s “Keep Pounding” drummer.
Fittingly enough, McMillan is likely to join Newton’s company on Thursday night—where he’s expected to be named the 2025 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. Newton, at least for now, is the only player in franchise history to win the award—a feat he accomplished back in 2011.
