When a team takes a high profile quarterback in the draft, he tends to be one of the key focal points of the offseason. Such is… and will continue to be… the case with Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe. Easily one of the most intriguing prospects from the draft, Milroe’s ceiling is sky high… provided he gets the refinement he needs.
There’s been plenty of analysis of what Milroe can and can’t do, but who better to give such insight than his former college head coach? During the NFL draft, former Alabama head coach-turned-ESPN analyst Nick Saban was gleefully discussing his old quarterback. Now, admittedly, this clip is a bit older from the draft, but since I personally was not watching ESPN’s draft coverage, this is the first time it’s crossed my path. Regardless of age, Saban’s perspective on any player – especially his quarterback – is always welcome, and worth the time to watch.

Ultimately, Saban says a lot about what we know about Milroe: elite talent, but needs some work. However, it’s clear the greatest college football coach of all time is high on Milroe, and speaks glowingly of the quarterback who helped lead the Tide to one last SEC championship and College Football Playoff appearance in Saban’s final year in Tuscaloosa.
Saban’s full comments can be seen in the Tweet below, and they are worth a watch if you have not seen them already.
