Packers.com has consulted more than two dozen mock drafts from reputable national outlets and compiled a list of players most frequently mocked as draft selections in the latter portion of the first round (picks 18-28) who could be available when the Packers are on the clock at No. 23 overall.
Between now and draft day, those players will be profiled with thumbnail sketches and videos known as "Prospect Primers."
Today's player is …
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Height/Weight: 6-4, 219
Key stats: Over the past two years, had 174 catches for 2,721 yards and 18 TDs, setting school records for receiving yards in one game (304) and career (3,423).
College honors: Progressed from third-team Associated Press All-American and second-team All-Pac-12 Conference in 2023 to first-team All-American and first-team all-Big 12 Conference in 2024.
Background/other info: Nobody in the FBS had more than his 3,423 receiving yards over the last three seasons, and he's the first power conference player to have 80-plus receptions, 1,300-plus yards and eight-plus TDs in back-to-back years since Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon in 2010-11. Uses his impressive size to his advantage on contested catches, and combines that with sub-4.5 speed, which he proved with a 4.48 clocking in the 40 at a private workout for NFL clubs. Can line up from any receiving position and make an impact, creating matchup issues for secondaries. Hawaii native went to high school in California, earning state player of the year honors as a senior and becoming Arizona's highest-rated recruit ever. Went on to set school records at Arizona and average an eye-popping 16.1 yards per catch over 213 collegiate receptions, with 26 TDs.
