“Welcome Jalen Milroe to our 2025 NFL Draft Class!” the post read.

The decision is a major step for Milroe, who followed former No. 1 pick Bryce Young for the Crimson Tide in 2023 and has been the team’s starter ever since. Milroe is a divisive NFL prospect following his two-year tenure at Alabama, which certainly saw its share of ups and downs. In his first year as a full-time starter, Milroe threw for 2,834 yards and 23 touchdowns to just six interceptions in Nick Saban’s final season in Tuscaloosa.

Though Milroe was eligible to enter the draft after the 2023 season, he decided to return for his redshirt junior year under new head coach Kalen DeBoer but saw his passing production take a hit. Although he threw for more yardage in 2024 (2,844), he saw his touchdowns dip to 16 and his interceptions increase to 11.Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe (4) celebrates after defeating the Auburn Tigers at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Even with the setback through the air, Milroe made up for the lost production on the ground, where he ran for 726 yards and 20 rushing touchdowns, which was second among all FBS quarterbacks.

In his evaluation process, Pro Football Focus has Milroe ranked as the fourth-best QB in the class (70th overall), while CBS Sports lists him as QB3 and all the way up at 45 overall.
