Alabama QB Jalen Milroe Declares for 2025 NFL Draft

The dual-threat quarterback leaves Alabama after two seasons as a starter, entering a competitive draft class with mixed evaluations of his NFL readiness.

Jalen Milroe announced his decision to forgo his final year of eligibility and enter the 2025 NFL Draft after a 9-4 season with Alabama.
Milroe posted 2,844 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 2024, along with 726 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities.
Despite his athleticism and strong arm, analysts highlight concerns about his passing consistency, turnovers, and readiness for the NFL level.
Milroe is ranked as the No. 3 quarterback prospect in the draft class by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., behind Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward, with projections placing him late in the first or early in the second round.
Teams with quarterback needs, like the Jets, Raiders, and Saints, are speculated to consider Milroe as a developmental prospect with significant upside.
