“Just saw him recently. And, obviously, the player that he is, how dynamic he is, what he can bring to an offense from him being able to expand a playbook, really put defenses in a bind with what he can do both throwing and passing is one of the huge things that jumps off the sheets,” former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young previously remarked. It showcased his confidence in ex-Alabama teammate Jalen Milroe as he made clear why teams should select him.
Interestingly, beyond Young, the Crimson Tide QB, who is known for passing the ‘impressive’ throws, also gained the attention of many NFL teams. The William V. Campbell Trophy winner even left his notable impact on the Saints and Browns as the 2025 NFL draft nears. His private workout sessions with these teams were quite “impressive”.
The NFL rumors account even confirmed the same news through a post on X. “#Alabama QB Jalen Milroe had private workouts with the #Saints and #Browns that were described as “impressive,” they mentioned it in their post caption.

According to the latest NFL rumors, the Alabama signal-caller threw for the Browns and Saints while meeting with the Steelers and Jets. Clearly, Jalen, 22’s ‘impressive’ private workout session with the Saints went viral since the team has been heavily invested in quarterbacks leading up to this draft.
Although, similar to this move, the Saints met many signal callers, including Quinn Ewers, Texas Longhorns, Will Howard, Ohio State, Shadeur Sanders, Colorado Buffaloes, and Cam Ward, Miami Hurricanes.
Astonishingly, the Saints last selected a quarterback in the first or second round 58 years ago in 1971. Whilst at it, they drafted Mississippi’s Archie Manning as the second overall pick. Hence, Jalen Milroe, who emerged as one of the more contentious figures in this year’s NFL Draft, is probably going to be selected in the second round. However, some scouts predict he might be selected in the first round.
On the other hand, the Browns’ connection with Milroe has shown up as they continue to overhaul their quarterback room. Reportedly, Milroe’s had an ‘impressive’ workout session with the team. In light of these instances, it appears that Milroe will likely compete in the first round. Well, time will tell.
But his acceptance of the Green Bay invitation also clears that he intends to be selected in the first round. Interestingly, at No. 40 in the second round, he would be an ideal value choice. Milroe’s draft value increased after he attended the Saints and Browns’ sessions. It comes amid the unexpected speculations that the Steelers considered him a first-round prospect.
Steelers rumors heat up as Jalen Milroe accepts NFL Draft invite
Since Jalen Milroe has accepted the invitation to attend the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, his Steelers rumors have heated up. It was rumored that the Pittsburgh Steelers considered him a first-round possibility with the 21st overall pick. Milroe had long been considered a Day 2 prospect for Pittsburgh, one of the few teams outside the top 10 that needs a quarterback.

Clearly, Milroe accepting his invitation gives the impression that the Steelers or a team moving back into the first round will take a chance on the quarterback. It is all because the league is more confident in him than the media. If the Browns and Giants don’t select Colorado’s Sanders in the top three, either of them could pivot the way of Milroe too.
Well, there are differing opinions on whether Milroe is the second, third, or fourth-best quarterback in this draft class, behind Cam Ward. Opinions differ on how to rank Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart and Shedeur. Amazingly, Milroe recorded 45 TDs for 6,016 YRDS in his total 38-game career at the Crimson Tide. Additionally, one can not neglect his impressive skills as a runner. He left many in awe by posting 33 more TDS on the ground with 1,577 rushing yards.
It is quite clear that he has a lot of space to grow. A desperate (or well-calculated) NFL team could take a punt on him early in this year’s draft.
