Jalen McMillan Summary:

The Positives

  • Good route running
  • Uses great subtle moves to separate on medium and deep routes
  • Decent YAC potential
  • Athleticism and speed is a plus

The Negatives

  • Dealt with knee injury for most of 2023 season
  • Average size
  • Was the #2 in Washington so he rarely faced the top corner
  • A lot of catches on bubble screens and screen in general
  • Played mostly in slot (though should be able to play on outside)

McMillan’s injury slowed down what would have likely been an impressive final season at Washington. That being said, he came back from the injury and showed enough to where he could be a day 2 steal. Mcmillan possesses very good, but not elite, speed and athleticism. Pairing that with good hands and very good route running and you end up with a receiver who could feast as a WR2, but does have the upside of a WR1. His lack of size may cause teams to relegate him to the slot, but he has the skill and route running to play outside if needed.
