Carolina Panthers’ first-round draft pick has become the sole NFL rookie of the 2025 class to sign with Jordan Brand. The agreement, facilitated by Klutch Sports agents Joe D’Amelio and Zeke Sandhu, places McMillan among an elite group of NFL athletes endorsed by the brand, including Davante Adams, Puka Nacua, Deebo Samuel, and Jalen Hurts. Notably, McMillan’s endorsement deal was secured before his first professional game, highlighting his early influence in the league.
McMillan’s collegiate career at the University of Arizona was marked by impressive achievements. In his final season, he recorded 84 receptions for 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns, earning him consensus All-American honors. A standout performance against New Mexico saw him amass 304 receiving yards and four touchdowns in a single game.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the partnership, McMillan stated, “To me, the Jumpman represents more than athletic excellence—it embodies a mindset that I am carrying with me to Carolina. Jordan Brand stands for breaking barriers and never settling for anything less than greatness.
The Panthers anticipate that McMillan will play a pivotal role in enhancing their offensive strategy alongside quarterback Bryce Young. As the team prepares for the upcoming season, McMillan’s early endorsement deal and on-field potential have generated significant excitement among fans and analysts alike.
