How Jalen Milroe gets Alabama football’s OL ‘fired up’

The toughness Jalen Milroe displays on the football field when he turns into a runner gives energy to the Crimson Tide’s offensive line.

Milroe is an athletic signal-caller, who has shown he can be dangerous as a runner. At 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, Milore tends to use his size as an advantage to fight for extra yards at the end of runs. Although they would love to keep Milroe upright as much as possible, Alabama’s offensive line gets pumped watching him show some toughness. 

“He plays with so much heart,” Alabama starting offensive lineman, Tyler Booker said on Next Round Live. “I have yet to see Jalen Milroe slide. As an offensive lineman that gets us fired up, like ‘hey, don’t take so many hits’ but at the same time we love it…he’s fighting for us, so we gotta fight for him.”

Alabama’s offensive line and Milroe will have an opportunity to show some fire against Mississippi State this weekend.
