Tetairoa McMillan is going to play a lot more in the slot during his sophomore season. As a rookie last year, McMillan ran 20% of his routes from the slot, while lining up inside just 15% of the time. Moving around the formation more will give McMillan more free releases.

McMillan getting more slot reps in year two; should improve after-catch opportunities.

McMillan is expected to play significantly more in the slot during his sophomore season, moving from 20% of routes from the slot as a rookie to a higher percentage. This increased slot usage will give McMillan more free releases and opportunities to make plays after the catch, addressing a weakness from his rookie year. As a rookie, McMillan ran the ninth-most routes facing press coverage (54 targets against press tied for seventh most) while ranking 36th in YAC/REC (3.8) and running crossing routes just 10.8% of the time (98th among WRs). Adam Pfeifer notes this development "certainly can't hurt," despite being lower on McMillan than most this offseason.
