The Dallas Cowboys were reportedly targeting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan in the 2025 NFL draft before he was selected by the Carolina Panthers. According to ESPN's Todd Archer, the Cowboys were "prepared" to draft McMillan with the No. 12 overall pick before Carolina added him at No. 8.

Panthers first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan had quite a few teams on his trail leading up to the 2025 NFL draft.

Jackson joins Derrick Brown, A’Shawn Robinson, Tershawn Wharton and Bobby Brown on a completely revamped defensive line. With last year’s sixth-round pick Jaden Crumedy and former starting nose tackle Shy Tuttle competing to stick around, Jackson could end up pushing one or both of them off the roster.
