The Seahawks selected Jalen Milroe with pick No. 92, adding both a quarterback and a dynamic athlete to their offense.

A two-year starter at Alabama, Milroe passed for 2,844 yards and 16 touchdowns while completing 64.3 percent of his passes, and also rushed for a team-leading 726 yards and 20 rushing touchdowns.

Milroe, who ran a 4.40 second 40-yard dash at Alabama’s pro day, averaged 15.2 yards per completion in 2023, which ranked seventh among FBS quarterbacks, threw 23 touchdowns passes against six interceptions, and was a finalist for the Manning Award (nation’s top quarterback), while also leading the team with 12 rushing touchdowns.

Milroe’s rushing ability should give him a shot to make an immediate impact, particularly playing for an offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak, who utilized a rushing quarterback in New Orleans in Taysom Hill.

Milroe is just the third quarterback selected by Seattle in 16 drafts under general manager John Schneider, joining Russell Wilson in 2012 and Alex McGough in 2018.
