Jalen Milroe had an up-and-down first start in the Seattle Seahawks’ preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.
Milroe finished the game with 148 passing yards and one passing touchdown on 13-of-24 passing. He also rushed for 31 yards on seven carries.
Those are promising stats for an NFL rookie quarterback in his first preseason start. Unfortunately for Milroe, his three fumbles put a damper on those numbers.
Milroe did flash potential throughout the game. He hit Marquez Valdes-Scantling with a dot off a play-action pass in the second quarter.
Jalen Milroe puts it right on the money for Marquez Valdes-Scantling 🎯
