Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan Wins Offensive Rookie of the Year Award

Carolina Panthers receiver Tetairoa McMillan was named the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year at the NFL Honors on Thursday. The 8th overall pick led all rookies with 1,014 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, also recording 70 catches. His standout season helped the Panthers win the NFC South and aided QB Bryce Young's best year. McMillan, who also won Tom Brady's LFG OROY, had earlier publicly apologized for using a racial slur during a live-streamed esports event. He topped 1,000 receiving yards in 17 games despite inconsistent QB play.
