McMillan’s catch came with the Panthers trailing 10-3 in the second quarter of the game. The Panthers wideout got a step on his defender and connected with Carolina quarterback Bryce Young on the play.

Carolina enters the Cowboys game with a 2-3 record on the season. McMillan has worked his way into the Panthers offense consistently as a rookie, but was never able to find the end zone until Sunday.
Carolina and Dallas are playing at time of writing. The Cowboys are 2-2-1 on the campaign.
McMillan was a star wide receiver in college at Arizona, before declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft. The wide receiver was selected by the Panthers with the eighth overall selection.
Before the Cowboys game, McMillan had 24 receptions on the season. He had one game with 100 receiving yards. That came against the Arizona Cardinals on September 14, in a Panthers loss.
Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is in awe of McMillan.
McMillan spoke just in recent days about his touchdown drought.
“I’m not really worried about it, man,” McMillan said. “God never makes a mistake, so when the time comes and it happens, it’s meant to be.”
That time has finally come. Panthers fans hope that McMillan’s touchdown Sunday is the first of several he will score this season, and in his career.
