## Resource

Carolina’s gamble paid off big time—Tetairoa McMillan, their eighth-overall pick in 2025, shattered franchise rookie records with 1,114 yards and 7 touchdowns, winning AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. Even in a hypothetical re-draft, Bleacher Report says they’d stick with him: he instantly became Bryce Young’s top target, thrived after Adam Thielen’s trade, and outperformed alternatives like Loveland or Egbuka. McMillan didn’t just fill a need—he turned it into a weapon, proving Carolina’s pick was spot-on. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
