Ja’Quan McMillian is getting the respect he deserves. It's just hard to do so at times when the player on the other side of you happens to be Patrick Surtain II. But that’s why CBS Sports.com writer Zachary Pereles placed McMillian fourth on his list of 50 NFL players who are flying under the radar.
McMillian finished his 2025 NFL season with 56 tackles and two interceptions. While Surtain gets most of the credit, Pereles makes sureto highlight that McMillian’s all-around play makes him a key asset to the Denver Broncos' defense.
“McMillian's 2025 season included becoming the first player to sack Patrick Mahomes twice and intercept him once in the same game, as well as the crucial, controversial overtime interception against the Bills in the playoffs,"
Pereles wrote for CBS Sports. "He also had four sacks, more than he recorded in his first three seasons combined. His all-around skill set is a big part of Denver's defense.”
Hopefully, 2026 is a big enough year that McMillian can grab a Pro Bowl and All-Pro selection.
