A Peculiar Bias Drew Panthers HC Dave Canales to Star WR
Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan has had himself a week, could that be because of an interesting bias his head coach has?
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan has had an impressive week, earning NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors from the NFL and leading his team to a dominant win over the Detroit Lions. The former Arizona Wildcat, who was born in Hawaii and raised in Southern California, has been on fire since joining the Panthers.
During a virtual interview with host Kay Adams on Up & Adams, McMillan joked about head coach Dave Canales' "bias" for players from California, stating that the coach loves his California players and believes in him. McMillan was born in Hawaii, but grew up in Southern California and attended Servite High School in Anaheim. Canales, who played college ball in Azusa, is the first wide receiver in Panthers franchise history to win Offensive Player of the Week, recording 192 receiving yards, 14 receptions, and two touchdowns in Sunday's game.
