Overview

• Jalen Milroe was selected 92nd overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, making him the first Alabama quarterback taken outside the first round since 2015.
• Milroe, a dual-threat quarterback, totaled 45 passing and 33 rushing touchdowns in two seasons as Alabama's starter, but faced criticism for inconsistency in the passing game.
• Seattle's head coach Mike MacDonald confirmed that veteran Sam Darnold will take over 90% of the snaps, while Milroe will see situational play as he develops.
• Seahawks GM John Schneider praised Milroe's athleticism, citing his GPS-tracked speed of 21.2 mph, but noted the need for refinement in his pocket passing.
• Milroe's claim that he was the Seahawks' top-rated quarterback was publicly disputed by Schneider, though the team expressed confidence in his potential.
