Former Alabama quarterback, Jalen Milroe was asked who is the first NFL player he would like to swap jerseys with at the NFL Draft.

Milroe did not take long to come up with an answer as he quickly said Philadelphia Eagles’ starting quarterback and Super Bowl champion, Jalen Hurts.

Hurts and Milroe are both from Texas and former four-star recruits. Milroe has displayed respect for Hurts on multiple occasions, including after Alabama defeated Georgia during the 2024 season.

“Jalen Hurts is a great person to look at when it comes to handling adversity when it comes to playing the position,” Milroe said. “I’m a Texas kid. He’s a Texas kid, and he was one of the reasons why I came to University of Alabama. If we look back when Alabama played Georgia, then he stepped into the game. So, I wanted to represent him today. If he’s out there watching, Hey, Jalen Hurts. I love Jalen Hurts. I think he’s a great quarterback, and I just wanna represent him today.”

Milroe will look to be just as impactful as Hurts in the NFL with the Seahawks.
