Hurts showed he was the best quarterback for the job in 2016 as a freshman. Milroe has a bigger challenge as Bryce Young and Paul Tyson are not giving an inch; nevertheless, the native Texan is pushing hard. If he performs well throughout fall camp, it will be difficult for the coaching staff to redshirt the freshman. Alabama has a good problem on its hands at the quarterback position.
