Jalen Milroe was asked did he felt his IQ was being ‘underrated’ during the pre-draft process while talking to the media at the NFL Combine.
Milroe has an opportunity to improve his draft stock ahead of April’s draft. The Alabama quarterback is considered one of the more intriguing prospects in this year’s draft class.
The Texas native responded to the reporters’ question by accepting the role of the underdog.
“I’m cool with being underrated,” Milroe said. “I play in the hardest conference in the country. I played against the number one team in the country, the number one defense in the country. So, if I lack knowledge, I wouldn’t be able to win big games. And 2023, my first year starting, I didn’t lose a SEC game and was playing a lot of different defenses, a lot of things that was unraveled when it came to the game planning and a lot of things I pour into that people don’t see.”
Milroe is set to go through drills at the combine.
