Tet McMillan Comments Not Concerning “at all” to Top Analyst

When Emory Hunt of CBS Sports and Football Game Plan sat down to talk to JetNation Radio, our NY Jets Podcast, about the upcoming draft, one of the first players to come up was Arizona wide receiver Tet McMillan.  Viewed by many as a potential target for Gang Green with the seventh pick, some fans were turned off by the idea.

Why, you ask?

A recent video surfaced of McMillan speaking off-the-cuff, saying that he doesn’t like watching football and doesn’t care to watch film on his own.  The comments themselves are concerning, but according to Hunt, there’s something that should wipe those concerns away.  His film.

McMillan, a 6′ 4” receiver with an elite wing span, was among the best receivers in the country this season.  His ability to make defenders miss made him one of the best yards-after-catch receivers in this class.  Eluding defenders to pick up chunks of yards after the catch isn’t generally something you see from a player who lacks work ethic, as pointed out by Hunt.

Hunt would also go on to say that with the seventh pick, the Jets should be looking to add a playmaker to help quarterback Justin Fields.  An idea that falls in line with what we’ve heard from the Jets regarding Fields.  He has been failed by previous teams, but the Jets want to build around him and let him play.

For that and all of the comments from the interview, click the video above.
