No player at the Reese’s Senior Bowl has a better opportunity than Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe. After an up-and-down season in a new system with the Crimson Tide, Milroe needs a strong week in Mobile to try and separate himself from the rest of the second tier or quarterback in the 2025 NFL draft.
But on the first day of practice, Milroe didn’t do much to help himself. According to multiple reports from those in attendance, Milroe once again struggled with his accuracy throwing the football, which plagued him all season long.
On his own roster, Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart and Notre Dame’s Riley Leonard are pushing Milroe for that No. 3 quarterback spot in the draft and both were stronger on Tuesday. Meanwhile on the National roster, Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel wowed everyone with the fastest-clocked throw in offseason history.
Milroe’s ceiling is as high as any quarterback in this draft but he feels more like a project player who will need the right scheme and the right coaching to help him clean up the issues he has with throwing the football.
