Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe has been making waves in the NFL draft world with his impressive private workouts with several teams, including the Saints and Browns. The 22-year-old signal-caller has been described as “impressive” by scouts and has gained the attention of many NFL teams.
Milroe has an impressive track record, with 45 touchdowns and 6,016 yards in his 38-game career at Alabama. He is also a skilled runner, with 33 touchdowns and 1,577 rushing yards. His abilities as a quarterback have drawn comparisons to other top prospects in the draft class, including Cam Ward, Jaxson Dart, and Shedeur Sanders.
The Saints and Browns are among the teams that have taken notice of Milroe’s skills. The Saints, in particular, have been heavily invested in quarterbacks leading up to this draft and have met with several top prospects, including Milroe, Quinn Ewers, Will Howard, and Cam Ward. The Browns have also been overhauling their quarterback room and have shown interest in Milroe.
Milroe’s impressive private workouts have increased his draft value, with some scouts predicting he could be selected in the first round. However, opinions differ on his ranking among other quarterbacks in the draft class. If the Browns and Giants don’t select Colorado’s Sanders in the top three, they could pivot towards Milroe.
The Saints last selected a quarterback in the first or second round 58 years ago, in 1971, when they drafted Mississippi’s Archie Manning as the second overall pick. This has led to speculation that they may be looking to add a quarterback to their roster this year. Milroe’s acceptance of the Green Bay invitation also suggests that he intends to be selected in the first round.
With several teams showing interest in him, including the Saints and Browns, Milroe’s draft prospects look promising. Whether he’ll be selected in the first or second round remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – he’s a talented quarterback who could make a significant impact in the NFL. His impressive skills and achievements make him a top prospect in the draft class, and teams would be wise to consider him as a potential addition to their roster.
