It is rare that you can put the leading receiver from a team as a breakout candidate, but that is precisely what Jalen McMillan is. He posted 39 catches for 470 yards and three touchdowns last season in one of the worst offenses in the country.

Kalen DeBoer is an offensive coach and is going to be looking for a receiver to step up and be the go-to playmaker for the team and McMillan has as good of a chance as any.

With the new style of offense that the Huskies are going to be running, it is not crazy to think that McMillan could be in for a 1,000-yard season.

At 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, McMillan has the size to play on the outside but can move around in the slot if needed. He has good hands and has shown an ability to go up and get the ball to make tough catches. He is a talented player and is going to be in for a big season in 2022 in this new offense.
