The Tampa Bay Buccaneers added another dynamic playmaker to their passing game this offseason, spending a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft on Washington wide receiver Jalen McMillan.
A smooth, well-rounded prospect who can line up outside or in the slot, McMillan will be competing with Trey Palmer for the Bucs’ No. 3 receiver spot alongside Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
The Bucs also have a veteran returning as their starting quarterback, as Baker Mayfield is back after signing a three-year contract extension earlier in the offseason.
Speaking from his first NFL training camp, McMillan talked with the media about earning the trust of his new quarterback heading into the upcoming season:
Palmer showed flashes of big-play ability last year, but McMillan should push him for the WR3 job throughout training camp. Whoever ends up winning the job, the Bucs’ offense will be stronger for the competition.
