Early years
McMillan was born in Midway, Georgia. He was named after rapper Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan. He attended Liberty County High School in Hinesville, Georgia. He won the High School Butkus Award in 2013. McMillan was a five-star recruit by Rivals.com and was ranked as the number one inside linebacker in his class.
College career
McMillan played college football at Ohio State. As a freshman in 2014, he appeared in 13 games making 54 tackles, 2.5 sacks, an interception returned for 24 yards, and a pass defended. As a sophomore in 2015, he played 13 games with 119 tackles, 1.5 sacks, four passes defended, and a fumble recovery. As a junior in 2016, he played 13 games with 102 tackles, two sacks, five passes defended, and two forced fumbles. After his junior year, McMillan declared his intentions to enter the 2017 NFL Draft.
Professional career
McMillan received an invitation to the NFL Combine and completed all of the combine and positional drills. He also participated at Ohio State's highly anticipated pro day, but opted to only run positional drills. Seven general managers and nine head coaches attended Ohio State's pro day to scout McMillan and ten other prospects. McMillan had private workouts and visits with 11 teams that included the Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Redskins, Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, New York Jets, Oakland Raiders, and New Orleans Saints. The majority of NFL draft experts and analysts projected McMillan to be selected in the second or third round. He was ranked the second best inside linebacker in the draft by NFL analyst Bucky Brooks, the third best inside linebacker by NFLDraftScout.com, the fifth best linebacker by Sports Illustrated, and was ranked the tenth best linebacker in the draft by ESPN.
The Miami Dolphins selected McMillan in the second round (54th overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. On May 5, 2017, the Dolphins signed McMillan to a four-year, $4.69 million contract with $3.16 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $1.55 million.
McMillan made his professional debut on August 10, 2017 in the first preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons, where he left the game after suffering an apparent knee injury. The next day, on August 11, it was confirmed that he had a torn ACL, abruptly ending his rookie season. He was placed on injured reserve on September 2, 2017.
