As an undrafted college free agent signing, McMillian spent all offseason training with the Broncos. He was the highest graded cornerback in zone coverage in his final season at East Carolina, so he should fit in scheme-wise. With former third-round pick Michael Ojemudia both injured and less than impressive on the field when healthy, Denver should be looking to develop younger talent and also be looking to sign players from the outside to help fill out their depth at cornerback.
