Tetairoa McMillan makes a surprising admission at Panthers training camp

The greatest competitors in every sport have always understand a simple truth: the second you begin to believe your own hype, you're toast. That's why GOATs like Tom Brady and Kobe Bryant were literally never satisfied with their own work, no matter how much they accomplished.
