The Panthers took Tet McMillan with the eighth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and Cowboys fans were among those who were disappointed that he did not fall as far as they had hoped for them to pick him. Dallas needs another weapon for Dak Prescott as they look to get back into the playoffs after a disappointing last season. And seeing the wide receiver go to another NFC team would not have been easy.
One could see how disappointed folks were on social media. X/Twitter blew up with reactions of Cowboys supporters expressing their disappointment with Tet McMillan going to the Panthers. Some even projected their pain onto owner Jerry Jones, saying that he would be feeling it for missing out on a primary target. Here are some of the best reactions.
