2025 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Tetairoa McMillan – WR – Arizona

Games: COUN (2023), UTUN (2023)

Junior.  Starts at WR.  Has played both I/O receiver spots, primarily aligns outside.  Above average receiver, effective blocker, with below-average speed and burst.  Very tall and long receiver prospect – has great height and plenty of room to grow/add bulk.  Height and size present matchup problems.  Displays good hands especially in traffic, can catch and take a hit over the MOF and hang on to the ball.  Can make one-handed, acrobatic catches look easy.  Flashes decent RAC and ability to get yards after contact especially on screens.  Displays good adjustment to the ball mid-air.  Good on-field awareness and keeps plays alive for the QB.  Primary drawback is lack of speed and burst.  No explosiveness off the LOS.  Problems with stance and start – stands straight up pre-snap with little knee bend.  Slow in and out of breaks on deeper routes.  Struggled v. Travis Hunter with winning one-on-one contested catches.  Flashes a good arm when used on trick plays – can hit receivers in stride.   Would be a better fit at tight end at the NFL level; effective use as a run blocker would serve him better at that position.
