Lomax to Green 84
Hall of Famer
One possibility if the plan is to eventually move off Murray(not necessarily in 2025), is to draft a QB with great potential, but who needs a year or two of just sitting. Jalen Milroe is that guy for me. I watch most Alabama games and while Milroe had his ups and downs this year, the potential is so tantalizing. The thing that most obviously sticks out is the incredible speed at 6’2” and around 225-230 lbs. Before just lumping him in the Anthony Richardson category, Milroe has a track record of good to very good completion percentage in the high 60’s compared to the barely 50% Richardson had at Florida. His interceptions were up this year (10), but the year before playing for Nick Saban, he threw 23 touchdowns to only 6 interceptions.
The intangibles are very impressive. If Anquan Boldin was a grown ass man at WR, Milroe would fit that bill at QB. The toughness just stands out. Jalen has the awesome strength of a Josh Allen, as he can sling it with guys draped all over him. To me, Milroe is the anti Murray, a kid with warts who will learn, has the heart of a lion, and will take a vicious hit in order to deliver the ball.
