The Arizona Wildcats watched from the sidelines as the rival Arizona State Sun Devils became the darlings of the college football world in their bowl clash with the Texas Longhorns earlier this year.

Cam Skattebo became a hot name rising up NFL draft boards, now a former Wildcats star appears poised to join the Sun Devils' former running back as he was timed with an impressive run at the Wildcats' Pro Day.

Tetairoa McMillan, the star wide receiver who dueled against Travis Hunter of the Colorado Buffaloes earlier this year and learned a tough lesson or two in the process, continued his ascent with a blistering fast time for his size that fans have been talking about lately.

McMillan spoke to fans and well wishers as he reeled off the impressive 40-yard dash time.

"I told you I was going to do it," McMillan said after his sub 4.5 time.

"I don't want to hear nothing."

McMillan was recently mocked to the Denver Broncos as a potential first round pick for Bo Nix to throw to in the Mile High City.

His impressive size at 6-foot-5, 212 pounds gives the Hawaii native a leg up on the competition as likely one of the first pass catchers to come off the board this April.
