AFC team reportedly sees Jalen Milroe as first-round draft pick

Jalen Milroe is starting to garner a buzz about him potentially being selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. 

Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh revealed sources have expressed to him Milroe is a quarterback, who multiple Steeler scouts like. 

“There are Steelers scouts who 'love' Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe. Believe he’s a 1st round talent. And potential franchise quarterback. Mike Tomlin will see him next week at the Senior Bowl. Stay tuned,” Fillipponi said in a post on X.

Milroe had an up-and-down season with the Crimson Tide in 2024, but he proved he is still a playmaker with his speed and flashed as a passer. He finished the year with 2,844 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns, 726 yards and 20 rushing touchdowns.
