Alabama QB Jalen Milroe declares for NFL draft after disappointing season finale
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe is entering the NFL draft after a disappointing finish to his second season as starter.
Milroe announced his decision to skip his final season Thursday on social media, two days after the Crimson Tide fell to Michigan 19-13 in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
“Football has always been my passion, and since I was a kid, I dreamed of competing at the highest level,” Milroe posted. “Through every win, every tough loss, and any criticism along the way, my love and dedication to this game has never wavered. Every day, my gratitude for the opportunity to play this sport I love only grows stronger.
“With that said, I am declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft.”
Milroe passed for 2,844 yards with 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions last season. He also rushed for 726 yards and 20 touchdowns, leading an upset of Georgia. But the Tide finished 9-4 and failed to make the playoffs.
In his Alabama finale, Milroe fumbled twice, took a fourth-down sack and threw an interception on the Crimson Tide’s first four drives.
But he will finish his Alabama career with 6,016 passing yards and 45 touchdowns against 20 interceptions. He also ran for 1,579 yards and 33 scores.
