2025 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about JALEN MILROE:
Alabama | Hometown: Katy, TX | HT: 6017 | WT: 216 | 40 time: 4.40 | Hand: 0912 | Arm: 3118 | Wing: 7658
Two-year starter. All-SEC in 2023. Winner of the William V. Campbell Trophy, the top football academic award. Milroe backed up Bryce Young for two seasons, first appearing in 2022 for a few games after an injury to the eventual number one overall pick. He quickly showed the playmaking talent with both his arm and legs, scoring 35 points on eight drives against Arkansas and then tying a school record the next week with three passing touchdowns in his first career start. When he took over the full-time role in 2023, he finished second nationally among quarterbacks with 12 rushing touchdowns (behind only Jayden Daniels) while proving he could throw the ball downfield with success. Has enough quality tape and production to prove there is a high ceiling that includes an electric trait. Has elite athleticism that promotes the idea of him being a dangerous dual threat that is difficult to game plan against. The question will be whether or not he can balance out as a passer enough to beat defenses with his arm. Strong and sturdy with tremendous lower body strength. Can take hits like a running back but knows where to avoid them. Has true run-away speed and will create a lot of explosives. Snappy, strong arm. Can create quick torque and really spin it without a wind up. Excellent deep ball touch and ball placement. Had several drops by receivers on 20+ yard throws. Potential in his arm is real. Does not anticipate throwing lanes. Waits too long to see it before throwing it. Will follow his target with his eyes for too long, opening the door to backside interceptions. Not a fluid mover in the pocket. Footwork is rigid and inconsistent across the board. Has too many poor throws and fumbles which can be partially attributed to his small hands. Did not progress as a decision maker. Questionable effort after interceptions.
2024 Stats: 205/319, 2844 yds, 64.3%, 16 TD, 11 INT, 726 yds rushing, 20 TD, 148.8 QB rating. Draft projection: 3rd/4th round
