NFL Trade Rumors
In response to a report that the Steelers love Alabama QB Jalen Milroe, the Athletic’s Mike DeFabo says he’s actually heard the opposite.
Per DeFabo, Pittsburgh currently believes Milroe will end up being selected long before they’re comfortable using a pick on him.
The Steelers are one of several teams that could be looking to select a quarterback in this upcoming class and Milroe could be one of the options available since they don’t have a top-ten pick.
The upcoming 2025 class is not loaded with prospects the NFL is excited about, and Milroe has legitimate physical talent.
However, he had a rollercoaster college career and looks like a serious developmental project. We’ve seen players like that go anywhere from the top five picks to the third day of the draft in recent years, so Milroe’s stock is incredibly volatile.
It won’t be surprising to see Milroe generate polarizing opinions inside NFL buildings, including Pittsburgh. However, it’s worth noting there’s still a ton of time until the draft and the teams themselves have only just begun the process of formalizing opinions on the upcoming class.
Milroe, 22, was a two-year starter at Alabama and earned second-team All-SEC honors in 2023.
During his four-year college career, Milroe appeared in 38 games for Alabama and completed 64.3 percent of his pass attempts for 6,016 yards, 45 touchdowns and 20 interceptions to go along with 375 carries for 1,577 yards and 33 touchdowns.
