Some dots connect Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe to the Cleveland Browns, and he spoke about it in Mobile, Alabama.
The Senior Bowl is underway, and the Cleveland Browns have been the subject of many noteworthy headlines regarding the 2025 NFL draft’s quarterback prospects. The latest starts with Milroe’s praise for new Browns offensive coordinator Tommy Rees.
Cleveland’s 2023 tight ends coach was recently promoted to the role of offensive coordinator. Before joining the Browns, he spent some time as a collegiate offensive coordinator for Notre Dame and the Alabama Crimson Tide, where he coached quarterback Jalen Milroe.
The former Crimson Tide star recently took the Senior Bowl podium to discuss his time with Rees at Alabama and what he learned from the young coordinator in Tuscaloosa:
“I have so much respect for Coach Rees… With him playing the position and him coaching, I gained so much knowledge and respect in my first year as a starter.”
The Alabama quarterback went on to discuss the hard work he and Rees put in and how meaningful that experience was for his playing career and future development.
The Cleveland Browns have a large question mark when it comes to the future of their quarterback position. Having a developed connection with a player as talented as Milroe could be beneficial if Cleveland decided to pair him and Rees together.
We’ll see if Milroe’s connection to the Browns continues to gain momentum as we go further into the 2025 NFL Draft process.
