4. WR Jalen McMillan, Washington
It's easy to overlook wide receiver Jalen McMillan in an explosive offense that also features Rome Odunze and Ja'Lynn Polk, both of whom are potential first-round prospects.
But McMillan showed up when his teammates needed him the most, with a game-high 131 receiving yards in the Pac-12 Championship Game.
"Welcome back, Jalen McMillan," Klassen said. "After missing a good chunk of the season with a knee injury, McMillan returned just in time to torch the Oregon Ducks.
"A wiry guy at 6'1" and 192 pounds, McMillan wins with quickness and flexibility. He's a smooth, agile player who weaves through his routes and in between defenders with relative ease. When those traits are coupled with strong hands, the Huskies benefit from an exceptionally reliable player with just enough juice to be a problem with the ball in his hands."

Last season I think he arguably was more valuable than Rome was... so many huge catches on 3rd downs and key TDs.
We all wondered what happened to the offense mid season... clearly his injury was a lot to overcome even with Rome and Polk balling out.
