| FTBL Alabama 2025 NFL draft decision tracker: Who will stay in school or enter draft?

[PurlJam]

profootball reference site has him listed as QB on all three teams when they list his rushing and receiving numbers. What was his official position?

I dont know, but he was hell wherever he lined up. I believe he was more dangerous at WR.

Kordell Stewart.

Um, we're talking about college QBs that successfully transitioned to another position in the pros. Stewart played primarily as a dual threat QB that ran alot. His position was always listed as QB. In 11 years he had a total of 81 targets in receiving. He never had more than 17 receptions in a year and five of those years he had zero targets.

Matt Jones played only four seasons in the NFL and out of 54 games, he started 15 of them. I wouldn't say he had much impact as a receiver overall. There are VERY few college QBs that successfully switched positions and made a career out of it. In fact, just about none of them from major college programs had sustained success. Tyrelle Pryor came close, playing 7 seasons at TE/WR but he only had one good year and othewise was pretty bad. Julian Edelman had a long and successful career at WR but he came from Kent State. I doubt Milroe agrees to switch positions. Some team will pick him up and see if they can develop him. He has some bad habits to work out so we'll see.

I can only think of one..... Tom Treebow.

Ah, you mean like Antwaan Randle-El?

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I don’t think he’s as fast as people think he is. He got ran down a lot from behind.

There are plenty of areas that you can knock Milroe on. I don't believe his speed is one of them...

 

[Justneedme81]

If he does well at his pro day and combine, then he could pull an Anthony Richardson and get into the first round. But he's gonna have to be on his A-game during those throwing drills, he makes certain throws, scouts will notice.

He should be fine in that but like other days it's more of the interview he needs to work on the most. X and O's

 

[UAgrad93]

I’m proud for him! He was an excellent ambassador for UA, always carried himself well and represented UA with class.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

He's likely a first round pick.

I wish him well, day one or two.

Jim Jensen.

 

[colbyjacks]

Too funny not to share.

 

[OldPlayer]

Yes he is. It's weak QB draft. C'mon get out of feelings...

I'm being honest. Take off your rose colored glasses.

That's the thing dude... It's me telling you based on what I'm reading and seeing. Just wait and see how the mock drafts come out and we'll see.

We have a lot of HAPPY BAMA FANS!!

Might regret what we have hoped for. It can get worse... Like everyone I was as frustrated at times with Milroe but the dude is a freak athelete and if the light can come on he will be hard to stop. We saw that at times (see UGA first half Milroe) during his Bama career.

I wish him the best and hope he becomes the outstanding QB he wants to be. I appreciated his attitude and how he carried himself while he was at Bama. Best of luck Jalen...

I bet he runs about a 4.55 or 4.6.

 

[Slickmullet]

I wish him luck and hope he does well. I personally don’t see him being a successful QB at the next level. He has the physical attributes but his mental game is terrible. I personally would not draft him at all if I was a NFL GM.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I bet he runs about a 4.55 or 4.6.

Bet as much as you'd like, but FWIW... He’s been one of the top 5 fastest players on Bama’s roster every year since he’s been there. On that particular run at Arkansas, he hit 22 MPH on the Catapult system (if that doesn't sound like much, google top NFL MPH speeds). On this TD run against LSU earlier this season, he did the same. His speed isn’t a mystery.

 

[Rolltide24]

I noticed Ole Miss had 3 WRs with more receiving yards for the year than our top WR (Ryan Williams 865).

 

[TerryP]

I'm being honest. Take off your rose colored glasses.

I'm not one to bank on Kiper's projections as fact. He does have Jalen as the #3 QB off the board. If that holds true, there's definitely a first round pick opportunity.

 

[TerryP]

I bet he runs about a 4.55 or 4.6.

Here's where I'm not following your reasoning.

As Brandon mentioned above he's been clocked in pads, in games, running at 22+. That's speed.

Here's where I get confused. If he's doing that in a game and in pads, what happens when he's working out for the GM's, et. al., and he is in shorts and a light t-shirt. Does he slow down?

There is one thing. I've seen guys who have been clocked at a 4.4 have 40 times that were a second or more higher. It all depended on the day. On the same day the same guys have destroyed drills like the shuttle.

Never can tell, right? I don't believe anyone is questioning his speed at the next level.

Anytime I see mel kiper, I always think of this.
