Draft Profile: Bio
Jalen Milroe capped his Alabama career with a dynamic 2024 season that showcased both his immense potential and areas for growth. The Texas native accounted for 35 total touchdowns, including 20 rushing scores that ranked second nationally among quarterbacks, while throwing for 2,844 yards with a 64.3% completion rate.

A consensus four-star recruit from Tompkins High School, Milroe's journey culminated in him earning the prestigious William V. Campbell Trophy as college football's top academic award. His 2024 campaign included several masterful performances, notably a 491-yard outburst against Georgia and a four-touchdown rushing display versus LSU where he averaged 15.4 yards per carry.

Despite leading Alabama to several signature wins, Milroe's final collegiate appearance in the ReliaQuest Bowl against Michigan revealed the ongoing development in his game, as he struggled with three interceptions in a challenging offensive showing.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Elite athleticism with explosive speed and agility, making him a constant threat as a runner and scrambler
  • Possesses a strong arm capable of making all NFL throws, with the ability to generate velocity from various platforms
  • Displays creativity and playmaking instincts when plays break down, keeping his eyes downfield
  • Shows flashes of advanced QB skills, using pump fakes and eye manipulation to move defenders
  • Tough competitor who embraces contact and isn't afraid to sacrifice his body for crucial gains
  • Demonstrates some serious poise under pressure, able to deliver in clutch situations. He was simply legendary in the Iron Bowl
  • Exhibits leadership qualities and resilience, bouncing back from early-season benching to lead team to CFP
  • Has experience in a pro-style offense, preparing him for NFL concepts and expectations
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Mental processing speed lags behind physical tools - hangs on primary read too long and struggles to quickly diagnose coverage rotations
  • Footwork gets choppy under pressure - back foot throws and drifting leads to sailing balls high, especially on intermediate routes
  • Needs to develop touch and trajectory control - tries to laser everything and hasn't mastered throwing with different speeds
  • Will bail from clean pockets too early - defaults to athlete mode instead of staying disciplined and working through progressions
  • Shows hesitation diagnosing blitz packages - takes unnecessary hits by not identifying free runners pre-snap or adjusting protections
Scouting Report: Summary
Raw tools jump off the tape with Milroe - a nuclear arm paired with explosive athleticism that threatens defenses on every snap. His game-breaking acceleration and ability to stress second-level defenders puts him in rare air athletically, even in an NFL context. The flashes of brilliance against Georgia's NFL-caliber defense hint at his sky-high ceiling.

A smart offensive coordinator will tailor early concepts to his strengths - designed runs, play-action shots, and simple half-field reads while his pocket presence develops. The processing speed and anticipatory throws need work, but his pure arm talent lets him get away with being late at times. In the right system that embraces his dual-threat ability early, he can win games while the finer points come along.

The team that pulls the trigger on Milroe is betting on traits over polish. His release velocity and twitch put him in the top tier of arm talents in this class. When the game slows down and the mechanics tighten up, you're looking at a potential game-changer who can beat you from the pocket or split the defense on designed runs. High-risk, high-reward prospect who could be special if it all clicks.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
