McMillan finished his rookie campaign with seven touchdowns in the team's final five regular‑season games. After missing the first 13 games of 2025 with a neck injury, he re‑joined the lineup and hauled in 12 receptions in the last four games.
Head coach Todd Bowles said he was relieved to see McMillan back and praised his work ethic and talent. Bowles noted the player’s resilience after a hard hit and said he fits well in the receiver room and has a bright future ahead.
