Carolina Panthers receiver Tetairoa McMillan had as much of a homecoming as he could have had on Sunday. Oh, and he was awfully good in it, too.

The rookie wideout, after an impressive NFL regular-season debut last weekend, recorded six catches for a game-high 100 receiving yards in Carolina’s 27-22 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. McMillan was asked about yet another eye-opening outing following the defeat.

“That’s all credit to my teammates, my quarterback and then, obviously, the coaches,” he replied. “They always just have a good plan on offense, and it just comes down to us to execute. We gotta finish games, we gotta finish drives.”

McMillan, a Southern California native by way of Waimānalo, Hawaii, was selected as a first-round pick out of the University of Arizona this past spring. He played three seasons with the Wildcats in Tucson, which is just a two-hour drive from the Glendale—the setting of his sparkling 100-yard performance in Week 2.

And that, obviously, carried some importance for the 22-year-old.

“God works in mysterious ways,” he stated. “Just somehow, my second-ever game in the league is pretty much the place where I spent the last three years. It’s a homecoming for me, man. It’s a close flight home from Hawaii. I’m fortunate enough to have both my grandparents here, my mom, pops. It’s just a blessing.”

McMillan, through his two games, has amassed 168 receiving yards on 11 grabs.
