The Tampa Bay Buccaneers already have one of the NFL’s best wide receiver tandems in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, but there’s an intriguing battle brewing for the No. 3 spot behind them heading into training camp.
Trey Palmer, a sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft, showed flashes of big-play ability and upside as a rookie last season, with rare explosiveness that can create big problems for opposing defenses downfield and after the catch.
But while Palmer should be even more polished heading into his second NFL season, he’ll face stiff competition for that WR3 role from Jalen McMillan, one of the Bucs’ third-round picks in this year’s draft.
Sara Walsh of NFL Network recently broke down the position battle with Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero:

Whoever ends up winning that job, the Bucs offense will be better for it, as they’re likely to get the best possible versions of both Palmer and McMillan as they both sharpen one another throughout training camp and the preseason.
