The Seattle Seahawks have strengthened their quarterback lineup by selecting Jalen Milroe from Alabama with the 92nd overall draft pick, making him the fourth quarterback of this draft. This selection adds to a packed quarterback room that includes Sam Darnold, traded from the Raiders, Drew Lock, and last year's backup Sam Howell, who is now on the trade block. Milroe is noted for his rushing ability, leading Bama with 726 yards last season, which might lead to creative offensive deployments under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
Milroe joins a crowded group of quarterbacks with the Seahawks, who signed Sam Darnold to be their starter after trading Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders in March. This leads to speculation on Milroe’s role in a deep quarterback competition.
A two-year starter at Alabama, Milroe led the Crimson Tide with 726 rushing yards last season, exhibiting versatility that may entice the Seahawks to deploy him as a wildcat option.
