Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe is anticipated to be one of the top picks in the upcoming NFL Draft. This week, he’s participating in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, hoping to elevate his professional prospects.
Milroe’s performance has been a mixed bag, with one particular low point going viral. During Wednesday’s practice, he threw a poor interception while trying to advance his team down the field. The play was doomed from the start when he mishandled the snap, leading to chaos in the backfield. After a shaky play-action fake, Milroe’s delayed pass was intercepted by Notre Dame’s Jack Kizer.
This lowlight has sparked immediate reactions, casting doubts on Milroe’s potential as an elite NFL passer. His junior season at Alabama was marred by similar struggles. The Crimson Tide finished the regular season with a 9-3 record but fell to Michigan in their bowl game. Milroe ranked near the top of the SEC in interceptions, with 11 in 13 games.
These turnover issues have persisted at the Senior Bowl, alongside his inconsistent passing. However, Milroe has also shown flashes of brilliance, delivering deep balls with pinpoint accuracy at times.
