MOBILE, Ala. — Georgia wide receiver Arian Smith knew who Jalen Milroe was.
The Alabama football quarterback has “a lot of attributes” Smith said he needs in a signal caller: Milroe can run, throw and makes smart decisions.
“I like him,” Smith told the Tuscaloosa News at the 2025 Senior Bowl. “He’s a great player, great person to be competing with on the team.”
For Milroe, that’s just the product of playing at Alabama.
After four seasons with the Crimson Tide, including two seasons as a starter, Milroe said he’s ready for the NFL because of his time at Alabama. He learned how to lead properly, to learn his strengths and weaknesses, how to leave an impact on whatever team he’s a part of.
Milroe said it’s what is showing up in interviews with NFL teams at the Senior Bowl, speaking authentically about his college journey, where he sees his future and what impact he knows he can make at the next level.
That is the legacy Milroe wants to leave to the rest of the Alabama quarterback room, to Ty Simpson, Austin Mack and Keelon Russell: it’s the secret sauce that allowed him to get to the Senior Bowl in the first place and to be noticed by NFL scouts.
“Never stop learning,” Milroe said. “If you are still playing the game, you have an opportunity to learn and grow. Never get complacent during the journey. Always soak up information from your coaching staff, always pour into the guys around you because those are the guys you play for.”
