Many NFL Draft experts have highlighted Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe as a significant name to follow during the predraft process, but unfortunately, the discussions surrounding him have predominantly been unfavorable. Milroe, who started for Alabama over the past two seasons, possesses a unique combination of athleticism as a runner and impressive arm talent, which ideally positions him as a potential future NFL quarterback. However, his production last season did not quite meet expectations; notably, Milroe threw a career-high 11 interceptions while managing only 16 passing touchdowns. This week, he is participating in one of the most prominent pre-draft events, the 2025 Senior Bowl. While the game itself is crucial, the practices leading up to it are even more essential, as scouts evaluate potential targets for the upcoming draft in April.
Unfortunately for Milroe, his performances have not lived up to the anticipated spotlight; the accuracy and decision-making issues that affected him at Alabama have persisted and even intensified under scrutiny. Reports from observers indicate that he has struggled, ranking among the less impressive quarterbacks at the event.

Milroe has the opportunity to redeem himself during the Senior Bowl game on Saturday, but given the considerable focus on the preceding practices, it remains to be seen if the damage to his draft stock has already been done.
