While still months away from the 2025 NFL draft, it’s still never too-early to start looking at which Alabama Crimson Tide football players will be taken in the draft’s seven rounds later this spring, especially the first round.
According to ESPN’s latest mock draft as well, one current Alabama player in projected in the first round, as analyst Matt Miller has quarterback Jalen Milroe coming off the board at No. 28 overall to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
As part of the projected pick, Miller also said of Milroe to Pittsburgh:
“He’s still a bit raw as a prospect, but he has thrown 15 touchdown passes and rushed for 17 more scores this season,” Miller said. “Milroe just needs to improve his touch as a passer, but scouts I’ve talked to have said he has the most upside of any draft-eligible quarterback in the class. And should the Steelers re-sign (Russell) Wilson, Milroe could sit, learn and develop further.”
Throughout the 2024 college football season, Milroe has been one of the more intriguing prospects when it comes to NFL draft boards, with many having the Alabama quarterback as a potential first round pick. Based on how he finishes the season as well, could Milroe in fact find himself in the first round this spring?
