Alabama football has officially sent another quarterback to the NFL.
Jalen Milroe was selected by the Seattle Seahawks with the 92nd overall pick in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday. Crimson Tide and Seahawks legend Shaun Alexander announced the selection.
Milroe is the fifth straight Alabama starting quarterback taken in the draft dating back to Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts in 2020. Mac Jones, taken 15th overall by New England in 2021, and Bryce Young (No. 1 overall to Carolina in 2023) are also on that list.
Milroe is the first quarterback taken in the first three rounds of any NFL Draft by the Seahawks since Russell Wilson in 2012. He's also the first Crimson Tide player drafted by Seattle since defensive tackle Jarran Reed in 2016.
Behind offensive lineman Tyler Booker (No. 12 overall to the Dallas Cowboys) and linebacker Jihaad Campbell (No. 31 overall to the Philadelphia Eagles, Milroe is the third Crimson Tide player selected in the 2025 NFL Draft and the 103rd overall player to be drafted out of Alabama since 2014.
Milroe started two years at Alabama under Nick Saban and Kalen DeBoer, and made one start for the Crimson Tide in 2022 vs. Texas A&M. He threw for 2,844 yards with 16 touchdowns to 11 interceptions last year as part of a 9-4 season that ended with a loss to Michigan in the Outback Bowl. Milroe rushed for 726 yards and 20 touchdowns on 168 carries.
As a sophomore in his first full season at quarterback in 2023, Milroe was benched after a Week 2 loss to Texas but returned to lead Alabama to 10 straight victories and a trip to the College Football Playoff semifinals at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena against national champion Michigan.
Milroe was 21-6 as Alabama's starting quarterback. He committed to the Crimson Tide out of Tompkins High School in Katy, Texas, in August 2020 as a 4-star recruit.
