Tune in here to this Friday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!
Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by discussing the Carolina Panthers’ first-round draft pick and the team’s future. The Panthers selected wide receiver Tetairoa “T-Mac” McMillan from Arizona with the 8th overall pick. McMillan, originally from Hawaii with strong California ties, has known quarterback Bryce Young since high school. Their connection grew stronger after recent offseason training, and Bryce personally advocated for the team to draft him. T-Mac expressed gratitude and excitement, emphasizing his versatility, positive locker room energy, and desire to learn from veteran Adam Thielen. He compared his game to NFL stars like Mike Evans and Keenan Allen and cited Larry Fitzgerald as his all-time favorite. The wideout believes his chemistry with Young will be special and is confident in head coach Dave Canales and the offensive staff.
Later, Jensen dived into a political protest held in East Charlotte aimed at U.S. Senator Thom Tillis. Organized by a group claiming to be nonpartisan, the event featured a cardboard cutout of Tillis after he declined to attend their town hall. WBTV covered the story, highlighting citizens’ concerns over federal job cuts and public policy.
Finally, Jensen recaps the Carolina Panthers’ reasoning behind selecting a wide receiver with their first-round pick in the NFL Draft. Head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan addressed the media, explaining that despite last season’s historically weak defense, the team prioritized adding an offensive playmaker. They praised McMillan’s size, elite hands, smooth route running, and red zone ability, emphasizing his fit in their scheme and the receiver room’s growing versatility. While acknowledging defensive needs, the Panthers’ leadership said they followed their draft board and believe they can address defense with remaining picks and recent free-agent signings.
