Tetairoa McMillan is named AP Offensive Rookie of the Year

He had a pair of 100-yard receiving games, and he registered a catch in all 17 games. He was the NFL Rookie of the Week when he caught three passes for 29 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-27 victory over Dallas in Week 6.

The Arizona product was named rookie of the year by 50 electors from across sports media, as selected by the AP. He beat out finalist Tyler Shough (QB, Saints), Jaxson Dart (QB, Giants), Emeka Egbuka (WR, Buccaneers), and TreVeyon Henderson (RB, Patriots).

McMillan played 87.18 percent of the Panthers’ offensive snaps this season, the most amongst all five finalists, and was the only finalist to start all 17 regular-season games. He was responsible for 20.18 percent of the offense’s production, the most of any non-quarterback finalist, making highlight-worthy plays and touchdowns to help send the Panthers back to the playoffs for the first time since 2017.
