The junior quarterback for the University of Alabama signed with Panini, which is the world’s leader in officially licensed collectibles and the leader multi-national publisher of trading cards, stickers, comics, and children’s magazines.

Panini, like Milroe, is based out of Texas. It wanted a homegrown product on a national stage to represent its brand, and who better than Milroe to do it. The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder has 1,483 passing yards, 319 rushing yards, and 23 total touchdowns to four interceptions in six games.

An electric showing versus the Volunteers should put Milroe back high in the Heisman talk.

He is ready to lead Alabama offense to victory on Saturday at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn.
