NFL Exec Praises Jalen Milroe: Alabama QB Constantly Keeps Proving the Doubters Wrong

As Jalen Milroe wraps up what will likely be his final season at the collegiate level, the Alabama quarterback is getting high praise from NFL executives.

Per ESPN's Jordan Reid, one director of college scouting "from a QB-needy team" spoke on Milroe's ability to prove critics wrong every year. The exec also noted that whichever team drafts Milroe will likely need to adjust their offense to him.

"He's been doubted every year, and he constantly keeps proving the doubters wrong," the scout said. "You're going to have to go all-in on his skill set and build a scheme that just overwhelms. [It'd have to be a team] like Baltimore, but there's a pathway to success for him on the next level."

Milroe, who debuted as Alabama's starter last season after Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young left for the NFL, had 2,834 passing yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions along with 531 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground in 2023.

This season, he's recorded 2,396 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions to go with 615 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns on the ground.

Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department lists Milroe as the No. 37 overall prospect and the No. 3 quarterback in this year's class.

Milroe has established himself as one of the most, if not the most mobile quarterback in college football this season. He leads the Crimson Tide in both rushing yards and touchdowns.

That kind of mobility is much-needed in the NFL, making him an exciting prospect to look forward to.

Until the draft, Milroe and Alabama will look to make the most out of what is left of the season. The Crimson Tide are having a down year from their standards, losing their third game of the season on Saturday and likely losing their spot in the College Football Playoff.

They'll close out the season on Saturday with an Iron Bowl matchup against Auburn in what could be Milroe's final game at Alabama.
