Ja'Quan McMillian just wants somebody -- anybody! -- to pronounce his name correctly

If Denver Broncos slot cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian is going to become a household name, he’ll need NFL commentators to at least pronounce his name correctly.

During the Broncos’ preseason showdown with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, 9News commentators Steve Levy and Ryan Harris struggled to pronounce McMillian’s name, an issue that other pundits have struggled with as well.

The cornerback must have watched a replay of the game or had the botched pronunciations relayed to him because McMillian took to Twitter/X on Monday with a funny response.

“It can’t be that hard to say my last name 🤣🤣🤣,” the cornerback tweeted.

The Broncos’ official name pronunciation guide has McMillian listed as “mac-MILL-in.” That hasn’t stopped commentators from using names including “McQuilan,” “McKillin” and “McMillion.” It’s becoming a meme at this point.

As Predominantly Orange’s Sayre Bedinger pointed out on Twitter, it could be worse — at least McMillian’s name is spelled correctly on his jersey.

Last summer, then-rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin played with “McGlaughlin” as the name printed on the back of his jersey in a preseason game. We’ve got the spelling down for McMillian. Now for the prounication. All together: “mac-MILL-in.”
