The Cleveland Browns need a quarterback, potentially in the 2025 NFL draft, and a pairing that keeps coming up is new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees and Alabama Football’s Jalen Milroe.

Introducing Rees as the new offensive coordinator today, being promoted from tight ends coach, the former Alabama offensive coordinator was asked about his former quarterback. Here is what Cleveland’s new offensive coordinator had to say:

“I have a lot of love for Jalen, a lot of respect. … that’s a great relationship there but I’m not really going to expand on anybody in the draft right now.”

Under the guidance of Rees in 2023, Milroe finished sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting with 2,800 yards and 23 touchdowns through the air and another 531 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground.

Could we see a Crimson Tide reunion in Cleveland?
