This Carolina Panthers wide receiver has received a rather contentious take.

Most Carolina Panthers fans would probably agree that rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan has been the one bright spot in their struggling offense this season.

The Panthers selected McMillan with the eighth overall pick of the NFL Draft back in April, providing Bryce Young with a towering 6-foot-5 weapon.

Through four games, McMillan has been very productive, logging 18 catches for 278 yards. That's good for an average of 15.4 yards per catch in spite of Young struggling mightily.

You would then think that the University of Arizona product would receive glowing reviews across the board, but there are some who are not entirely enamored with McMillan.

Take Bleacher Report's Brad Gagnon, for example, who gave McMillan a "B" grade for his work thus far and also said that his grade was "optimistic" given the circumstances.

"McMillan has yet to score a touchdown, has dropped a couple balls and caught just 51.4 percent of the passes thrown his way, but he's put up 168 receiving yards the last two weeks and he's looked better than those numbers would indicate," Gagnon wrote. "Throw in that he's been battling a calf injury, and this is an optimistic early review."

This is where stats can be misleading. Sure, McMillan has not scored a touchdown, and his catch rate is low, but a good part of that is due to the fact that Young has not been placing the ball where it needs to be. Plus, Carolina's offense has not even been in a position to score many touchdowns this season, ranking 24th in the NFL in yardage.

The fact that McMillan is posting these numbers in spite of poor quarterback play — and while battling through a calf issue — should be enough to get McMillan into "A" territory.

At this point, McMillan is clearly the best wide receiver in the draft class, especially given how disappointing Travis Hunter has been in Jacksonville. With better play from Young, McMillan would have even better numbers right now.

Overall, it's hard not be impressed with what we have seen from McMillan, who posted a couple of monster campaigns at Arizona before making the jump to the NFL.
