Despite an unfortunate ending to the Alabama Crimson Tide’s 2024 season, it will always be a special year because it was Alabama’s first taste in life after Nick Saban and the beginning of the Kalen DeBoer era. DB Malachi Moore, OL Tyler Booker and QB Jalen Milroe are among a few guys who cemented their legacies in Alabama history by staying through the transition.
As a quarterback and the top returning Heisman Trophy vote-getter from the 2023 season, getting Milroe back on campus was especially a big deal for DeBoer and his staff.
After a 5-0 start that included dominant wins against Wisconsin and No. 2 Georgia, many people discussed Milroe as a top-ten pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Unfortunately, the remainder of the 2025 season was a bit of a roller coaster with four losses and a few abysmal showings.
Milroe is arguably the best athlete in the entire draft class as he had 20 rushing scores this year, but he still has plenty of room for growth as a passer as he finished the season completing 64.3% of his passes for 2,844 yards and 16 TDs to 11 INTs.
Some scouts are still mocking Milroe as a first round draft pick, but I think he will likely be a day two guy. To help improve his draft status, Milroe will be attending the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL.
