Bowles Praises McMillan’s Return, Eyes Bright Future

McMillan finished his rookie season with seven touchdowns in the team's final five regular‑season games, but a neck injury kept him out of the first 13 games of 2025. He returned to catch 12 passes in the final four games, showing his resilience.

Bowles said he was relieved to see McMillan back, noting the player’s work ethic and passion. “He’s a talented, passionate workhorse who fits well in the receiver room,” Bowles said, adding that McMillan has a bright future with the Buccaneers.
