2025 NFL Draft Combine: Tetairoa McMillan bypassing drills

Arizona Wildcats wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan will not be participating in any of the 2025 NFL Draft Combine drills this week.

It’s unclear what McMillan’s plans are for Arizona’s pro day, though he is expected to attend the Big 12 Pro Day set for March 18-21.

McMillan entered the week of the combine with a first-round projection for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft after finishing off his college career with 84 catches for 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns. He earned a First Team All-Big 12 nod for his efforts.

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper’s latest mock ahead of the combine had McMillan landing with the Los Angeles Chargers at No. 22 overall.

“People look at me as a big receiver, which I am. I’m physically dominant, but at the end of the day, I’m able to run every route in the route tree,” McMillan told reporters Friday. “I’m able to play inside or outside. I feel like a lot of people, a lot of teams are sleeping on that right now.”

Which teams has Tetairoa McMillan met with at the NFL Draft Combine?

McMillan said Friday that he has spoken with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, New England Patriots and New York Jets this week.

All but the Cowboys (No. 12 overall), own a top 10 first round pick this NFL Draft.

Looking up to Larry

As far as who McMillan models his game after, you don’t have to travel too far up the road from Tucson.

“No one specifically currently that I looked up to or modeled my game after, but I can say in the past, it’s definitely been Larry Fitzgerald,” McMillan said.

Not a bad player to emulate!

In addition to McMillan, Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo told reporters Tuesday that he will only participate in the vertical and broad jumps this week.
