Carolina Panthers Rookie Tetairoa McMillan Joins Jordan Brand as Its Newest NFL Athlete

Jordan Brand continues its expansion in the NFL with the addition of Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan to its elite roster of athletes. The brand officially welcomed McMillan to the Jumpman family on May 15.

“To me, the Jumpman represents more than athletic excellence—it embodies a mindset that I am carrying with me to Carolina,” said McMillan. “Jordan Brand stands for breaking barriers and never settling for anything less than greatness. That philosophy resonates deeply with how I approach the game. This partnership isn't just about what I can gain—it's about what we'll build together and the path we'll create for those coming after me.”

A standout receiver at the University of Arizona, McMillan entered the league with high expectations after a record-breaking collegiate career. Now, as he transitions into the NFL with the Panthers, he’ll bring Jordan Brand’s ethos of excellence and legacy with him to the gridiron.

McMillan joins an elite group of NFL athletes currently signed with Jordan Brand, including Davante Adams, Puka Nacua, Deebo Samuel, and Jalen Hurts. Expect to see McMillan take the field in Jordan Brand products and appear in marketing campaigns for the brand.
