Alabama quarterback, Jalen Milroe is potentially hours away from hearing his name called at the 2025 NFL Draft.

Milroe comes off the heels of an intensive pre-draft process, where he saw his stock continuously fluctuate as one of the most intriguing prospects in this year’s class.

This intrigue grew with Milroe’s recent decision to accept an invite to attend the draft despite being considered by most analysts as a potential late first-rounder or day-two selection.

Milroe explained Wednesday he was in Green Bay for the draft to hear his name called despite which round he is selected.

“My biggest thing is, it’s not about being drafted in the first round,” Milroe said on SiriusXM. “It’s about hearing my name called. That’s my biggest thing that I’m looking forward to is to hear my name called and know where home’s gonna be at initially. And also, it’s a dream come true to be a part of the Draft. If I go first round or second round, I’ll still be able to experience walking the stage and being here.”

Milroe will now have a chance to see what his future holds at the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday.
