Former Alabama football quarterback Jalen Milroe boasts some of the best athletic traits of the 2025 NFL Draft.

-
The Athletic: Second round, No. 34 overall to New York Giants
-
CBS Sports: First round, No. 26 overall to Los Angeles Rams
Here's what USA TODAY Sports' Nate Davis wrote of Milroe:
"It feels like New York has to get a quarterback in this draft, if not with the No. 3 pick. And with veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston now in the building, this could be a perfect scenario to redshirt and develop a raw but explosive and tantalizing talent like Milroe – and working with HC Brian Daboll, who was intrinsic to Josh Allen 's development in Buffalo, could be optimal for a player who needs to progress into a more accurate, polished passer … while also potentially cooling Daboll's hot seat. Yet it's starting to seem like Milroe is generating enough intrigue that Daboll and GM Joe Schoen might need to leverage their Bills connections and move up a few spots for Milroe to ensure they don't miss out ."
