One thing that stands out is that Kuechly was criticized for not having enough "impactful/influential" plays, but still had 12 TFL his senior year. TFL is kind of like a sack.
Reuben Foster had 13.0 TFL in 2016. In 2015, he had 8.0 TFL.
McMillan, on the other hand, had just 8.0 TFL in 2016 and just 4.0 TFL in 2015.
McMillan simply does not make as many "impactful/influential" plays as Foster has.
There's a reason McMillan is rated as a 2-3 round player and Foster is rated as the top ILB.
McMillan will likely be a very solid, but unspectacular player in the NFL, whereas Foster has a good chance of being a difference maker.

To follow this up, I found this from NFL.com back in September where a NFL scout was quoted saying Reuben Foster compares to Luke Kuechly. Essentially, at least one NFL scout feels that Foster has the makings to be a star.
