Ja'Quan McMillian (; born June 4, 2000) is an American professional football cornerback for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at East Carolina and was signed by the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2022.
McMillian was a semi-finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award and earned second-team All-American honors for his 2021 season.[1] [2] He also earned second-team all-American Athletic Conference honors for his 2020 and 2021 seasons.[3] [4]
After going unselected in the 2022 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos signed McMillian as an undrafted free agent.[5] He was waived at the final roster cuts, on August 30, 2022.[6] The Broncos signed him to their practice squad the next day,[7] where he remained until January 3, 2023, when he was elevated to the active roster.[8] McMillian made his professional debut 5 days later as a starter in the Broncos' Week 18 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, in which he played every defensive snap.[9] In his second season, he appeared in 16 games and started three. He finished with two sacks, 51 total tackles (37 solo), two interceptions, five passes defended, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries in the 2023 season.[10]
