Big 12 programs are doing things a little differently in the pre-draft process these days. Collectively, they hosted a joint pro day as a conference from March 18th to March 21st, which eliminated individual schools putting on pro days for the 2025 offseason.

So when Arizona receiver Tetairoa McMillan wanted to workout on campus, it was considered a private event, rather than a program-wide pro day. Most of the NFL elected to just catch the Wildcats’ talent later in the week at the Big 12 pro day, which is what makes those who attended McMillan’s workout, specifically for McMillan, notable.

According to ESPN’s Jordan Reid, the only general manager to make the trip to Tuscon on Monday, the day before the Big 12 pro days kicked off, was none other than Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst. Gutekunst has been spotted there, at Oregon’s pro day and Alabama’s pro day in recent days.

Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan held a private workout for scouts Monday afternoon, participating in the 40-yard dash and running routes. The three evaluators I talked to were very complimentary of his performance. Times ranged in the 4.52-4.56 range for McMillan, which matches the speed scouts projected for him. Brian Gutekunst of the Packers was the lone NFL general manager in attendance, per sources.

So if you’re wondering whether or not the Packers would be interested in spending their first-round pick on a receiver, their interest in McMillan appears to be legitimate. At the moment, McMillan is ranked as the ninth overall prospect on the consensus draft board and the top true receiver in the class.

McMillan has been slipping down draft boards a little due to his less-than-stellar 40-yard dash time, but Davante Adams also ran a 4.56-second 40-yard dash at the combine back in 2014, too. That didn’t seem to dissuade Green Bay from selecting the future All-Pro receiver. If anything, size is more of a premium than speed in head coach Matt LaFleur’s run-first offensive scheme and McMillan has plenty of size at 6’4” and 219 pounds. If he starts to slide on draft day, don’t be shocked if he ends up a Packer, either at the 23rd overall pick or via a trade-up.
