Jalen McMillan prepares for larger role with Buccaneers this fall

Jalen McMillan is set to increase his contribution for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the upcoming NFL season. After a challenging second year hindered by a neck injury, McMillan is healthy and ready to step up following Mike Evans' departure to the San Francisco 49ers. Coach Todd Bowles praised McMillan's competitiveness and mental toughness, foreseeing him as a key target alongside Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka. McMillan previously showed promise with seven touchdowns in a five-game stretch at the end of the 2024 season, and he aims to build on that success as the Buccaneers prepare for the upcoming campaign.
