The Seattle Seahawks have already begun implementing a plan to help elevate the playing style of rookie quarterback, Jalen Milroe.

The plan is being designed by Seahawks second-year head coach Mike Macdonald, who recently encouraged the former Alabama quarterback to start utilizing an innovative tool that incorporates virtual reality. The system aims to help accelerate timing and ability to properly diagnose progressions by giving passers access to simulated game-like scenarios at practice from an in-person perspective with the use of a virtual reality headset.

Milroe confirmed the plan during a recent media availability when asked about him possibly using the technology.

“It’s funny you just mentioned that because me and my new head coach, we talked about doing that,” Milroe said. “And so from now until game one, I’m gonna utilize that.”

The former Alabama quarterback looks to be in a good position to develop behind Sam Darnold in Seattle.
