WR Tetairoa McMillan was training with QB Bryce Young before he was drafted by Panthers
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan is already quite familiar with his new quarterback. On Thursday night, McMillan was selected by the Panthers with the eighth overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft. That means he'll officially be joining fellow first-round choice and fellow California native Bryce Young over in Carolina. Advertisement But this won't be the first time the two will be linking up. As first reported by NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport following the selection, McMillan and Young had been "quietly" throwing together in Los Angeles in the lead-up to the draft. McMillan, during his chat with reporters, talked about that relationship—one he's now repeatedly dubbed the "Cali-to-Cali" connection. "We played against each other in high school, so we just kinda knew of each other," he stated. "I was fortunate enough to recently meet him, probably about a month ago for the first time at 3DQB in Cali. And I was fortunate enough, it was my first time ever, catching the ball from him and running routes for him. So I guess you could say we got a head-start on our chemistry." Advertisement Hopefully for the Panthers, that chemistry between their 5-foot-10 passer and their 6-foot-4 pass catcher continues to grow.

First look at Panthers QB Bryce Young throwing to WR Tetairoa McMillan
The "Cali Connection" has now connected in Charlotte, N.C. One month ago, the Carolina Panthers selected University of Arizona wideout Tetairoa McMillan with the eighth overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft. And it'd be from that moment that fans started to really imagine the prospect of quarterback Bryce Young, for the first time in his pro career, throwing up passes to a true No. 1 receiver. Advertisement But that vision wasn't exactly a strange one for Young and McMillan, who were training with each other about a month before the draft at 3DQB in Huntington Beach, Calif. "It was my first time ever catching the ball from him and running routes from him," McMillan told reporters just moments after he was selected. "So, I guess you can say we got a head start on our little chemistry." So, what did their head start look like? Well, there might be no telling if there's any footage of that. We do, however, have a little sneak peek of their chemistry from this past week's practice. Here's the first look, at least on video, of Young connecting with McMillan . . . Hopefully, we'll see a lot more of Carolina's new dynamic duo this week, when they kick off organized team activities (OTAs) on Tuesday.
