Milne was selected by Washington with the 258th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He later featured in 28 games with the team, totaling 15 receptions for 120 yards and one touchdown.
Milne’s most memorable performance in Washington came as the Commanders’ primary punt returner in 2022, when he led the league with 40 total returns with an average of 7.8 yards per attempt.
The Bingham product made Washington’s final 53-man roster out of training camp in 2023, but he spent the entire season on injured reserve due to a groin injury.

Milne was one of Zach Wilson’s favorite receivers at BYU, catching 101 receptions for 1,542 yards and 11 touchdowns over three seasons.
Aside from superstar Davante Adams, the Raiders’ receiver corps is underwhelming, offering Milne an immediate opportunity to carve out a place for himself in Sin City.
