Colin Cowherd says Seahawks rookie Jalen Milroe is more athletic than Lamar Jackson

There were a couple times during the Russell Wilson era where the Seattle Seahawks were reported to be interested in a super-athletic quarterback prospect in that year's NFL draft class. While it never worked out for them, they supposedly were very-much into Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Anthony Richardson and Sam Darnold, to name a few.

While the Seahawks eventually got their hands on Darnold, they couldn't resist taking a chance on this year's big boom-or-bust athlete at quarterback. That would be Alabama's Jalen Milroe, who went to Seattle in the third round at No. 92 overall. While no college prospect is a sure thing to work out at the next level, there's no denying Milroe's elite athleticism.

In fact, some analysts believe Milroe might be in a class all his own in this part of the game. Fox Sports pundit Colin Cowherd was a guest on Brock & Salk earlier this week and he called Milroe the most athletic quarterback he's ever seen pound for pound, including Lamar Jackson.
