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.
