Bucs rookie WR Jalen McMillan already drawing praise from Chris Godwin

Tampa Bay Buccaneers third-round rookie Jalen McMillan is already getting rave reviews from one of his veteran teammates

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers already have one of the NFL’s best wide receiver tandems in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, but that didn’t stop them from investing a Day 2 pick in the 2024 NFL draft on another talented pass-catcher.

Late in the third round of this year’s draft, the Bucs spent the No. 92 overall selection on Washington’s Jalen McMillan, giving them yet another well-rounded player to help Baker Mayfield and the passing game.

While his production was limited by a nagging injury last season, McMillan put up huge numbers in 2022, and has the polish and versatility to immediately compete for serious playing time in Tampa Bay as a rookie.

Godwin, one of the most complete receivers in the league, is already impressed:

McMillan should compete with Trey Palmer right away for the No. 3 receiver role alongside Evans and Godwin, and could quickly become an integral part of Tampa Bay’s game plan through the air.
