Alabama quarterback, Jalen Milroe’s running ability has impressed both NFL coaches and scouts during the evaluation process ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, according to NFL Network analyst Tom Pelissero.
Milroe had been one of the most electrifying runners at the quarterback position in college football over the last two seasons. He racked up 33 career rushing touchdowns and 1,577 yards during his career at Alabama. Milroe also clocked in a 4.37 second 40-yard dash at Alabama’s Pro Day.
This exceptional production and speed displayed by the Katy, Texas native is why Pelissero is receiving ‘eye-opening’ reviews from multiple NFL coaches and scouts.
“The eye-opening thing that several, not one, several coaches and scouts told me as I was making calls about all these quarterbacks is Jalen Milroe is the greatest runner of the football that they’ve ever evaluated at the quarterback position,” Pelissero said. “Not Lamar Jackson, Jalen Milroe is the best that they’ve ever seen.”
This high praise for the Alabama quarterback is part of the reason why he continues to see his stock rise ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.
