WR Tetairoa McMillan’s Pro Day

[StudioSaint]

This article does him no favors, but it's accurate and puts it all out there. 33rd Team puts out a lot of good content.

Why Tetairoa McMillan Isn’t the Receiver You Think He Is

Tetairoa McMillan is often mislabeled as a prototypical X-receiver in the 2025 NFL Draft. This deep-dive scouting report breaks down his strengths, weaknesses, and why he’s best suited for a Z or big slot role at the next level.

His highlight video that I've seen lines up with this evaluation. I think I remember one of Moore's strengths is being able to scheme players into space, so what he's good at might be a good fit for Moore.

Yes. I also think Jayden Higgins might be more of a Big Z.

Savion Williams might be the best Big X in this draft and he's an offensive weapon on top of being a Big X.

Dont'e Thornton out of Tennessee is a Big Z as well.

Been watching T-Mac for 3 years, he catches EVERYTHING and has quick twitch feet for his size. I would welcome him with open arms!

Tet at 9 if he's there. Everything else is noise.

I do believe there are alot of the DIY youtubers/podcasters spinning shirt to downrate him, so he falls to their team.

The draftniks typically follow the lead of guys like kiper. When prominent espn types say a player is dropping (often because they have sources inside NFL organizations) the internet adjusts accordingly. Golden is really good. It would surprise me in the least if he ends up being better. So I wouldn’t say it’s really far fetched. Tet is a really good player, but he’s not an elite WR prospect. He is more similar to the tier after Harrison and Nabers last year. That’s fine…there were really good players from that tier last year. But he’s not Jeanty…who is an ultra elite RB prospect in my view. I think that Golden being in the same tier as Tet is much more realistic than Hampton being in the same tier as Jeanty

Travis Hunter is a much better WR then Tet I think. Doubt we get a shot at him, but that would be way more ideal.

It's a big question with what they do at 9. A weapon RB or WR, or anything different. I want a weapon. I've usually been a build the line guy, but I'm most sick of the Saints underscoring. This is not soccer.

I like Jeanty and if they draft him, the RB room becomes a strength, and with a succession guy. If they draft a WR, the WR room seems complete, and, stabilized for the first time in forever.

I like Golden. He's 5'9" to 6'0". The top receivers Kellen Moore has enjoyed are A.J. Brown (6'1") and CeeDee Lamb (6'2"). But where Golden comps better to those guys (if he develops) is that he can work short, middle, long. The 4.29 speed is making him a riser.

Golden blossomed at U of H, and then he had a great one season with the Horns. He had to share the ball with so many others, and he had a QB (Ewers) who imo is slow-minded in reads.

I would rather wait until the 2nd round to think about getting a WR. I think it's just an "OK" WR draft. IMO, none of these WR would have been considered 1st rounders if they were in last year's draft.

Harrison might actually be in the group behind Nabers and BTJr might be in the group with Nabers. Years from now, we might look back at the 2024 draft and Nabers/BTJr end up being the top 2 WRs.

Too soon to stay. I’m speaking strictly about them as prospects. I think Harrison will be fine

Because NFL GMs and coaches watch youtubers to decide who to draft?

I wouldn't go that far. I think Tet & Matthew Golden would be considered late 1st rounders. Tet would be a little bit behind Brian Thomas & Matthew Golden would be a little bit ahead of Xavier Worthy.

I intentionally did not say GMs and coaches. However, influencers can get viral, or be a delivery system.

I’ve unfortunately watched lots of Texas football the past few years and I’m pretty confident that Golden>Worthy=Mitchell>Bond

Anybody care to take a guess at his first name pronunciation?
