Former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy Winner, Robert Griffin III feels Jalen Milroe’s pro day confirmed he has unique and elite traits.

Milroe created buzz for himself Wednesday when he ran a 4.37 forty-yard dash. He backed this forty up with an impressive showing while throwing the football.

Griffin dove into why the Crimson Tide quarterback continues to be an intriguing prospect in a post to X.

“Jalen Milroe blazes to a 4.37 in the 40 yard dash,” Griffin posted to X. “He is this draft classes’ Justin Fields. In the right situation and with the right pieces around him, he possesses ELITE traits that no other QB in this draft class has. Ceiling for him is Jalen Hurts.”
 

Milroe went into the Tide’s Pro Day with plans to ‘show out.’

“A lot of people wanted me to run,” Milroe said. “I gave everybody what they wanted. My goal was to get in the 4.3s. So goal completed. And secondly, be able to show out at pro day.”
