Tetairoa McMillan from the University of Arizona is considered by many people to be the top wide receiver prospect in this year's NFL draft class. It isn't the deepest position this year, but McMillan could have some true star potential. In both of the last two seasons, he went over 1,300 receiving yards, and during that time, he scored a total of 18 receiving touchdowns.
In his three seasons with the Wildcats, he ended up as their all-time leader in receiving yards with 3,423. He has prototypical NFL wide receiver size at 6-foot-4 and 219 pounds, which allows him to make tough receptions against defensive pressure. NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah, who is also the Los Angeles Chargers' radio color commentator, gave McMillan some high praise by calling the 21-year-old a "touchdown machine.

The Chargers, who are coming off an 11-6 finish and an unexpected playoff berth, need another legitimate threat at WR to leap forward into championship contention. They will have the No.
