When the Seahawks drafted Milroe with their third-round pick in April, it was with a longer-term developmental plan in mind. The former Alabama dual-threat quarterback is a tantalizing athlete and an electric runner<\/a>, but his passing still needed plenty of polishing<\/a> \u2013 both from an accuracy and decision-making standpoint.<\/p>\n It appears that process is off to a good start.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve seen him grow a lot from rookie minicamp to now,\u201d Kubiak said.<\/p>\n Milroe generally looked sharp during the team\u2019s two-day mandatory minicamp this week, while continuing to work exclusively with the third-team offense.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, Milroe fired a touchdown pass to Cody White on a slant route during a red-zone drill. And on Wednesday, he capped practice by zipping a dart up the seam to undrafted rookie tight end Marshall Lang for a TD.<\/p>\n Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said he\u2019s noticed \u201ca lot of growth\u201d from Milroe.<\/p>\n \u201cYou see the poise, the fundamental stuff, what we\u2019re asking with footwork and timing and reads,\u201d Macdonald said.<\/p>\n At one point during Wednesday\u2019s practice, Macdonald let Milroe know how far he\u2019s come.<\/p>\n \u201cI was like, man, how much different does it feel right now compared to two months ago?\u201d Macdonald said. \u201cAnd he gave me a big smile. He was like, \u2018Man, I feel great.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cSo he\u2019s earned kind of that feeling of confidence right now,\u201d Macdonald added. \u201cHe\u2019s earned that feeling going into the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n Milroe likely will enter this season as Seattle\u2019s No. 3 quarterback, behind presumptive starter Sam Darnold and backup Drew Lock. But there\u2019s been a thought that Milroe\u2019s rare ability as a runner could make him a perfect fit as a change-of-pace weapon<\/a> in specialty packages.<\/p>\n When asked about that possibility, however, Kubiak said it all depends on what Milroe shows on the practice field.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve got to go earn it in practice,\u201d Kubiak said. \u201cSo when they show it, then that\u2019s when it\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks news and analysis<\/p>\n \u2022 What Macdonald said about Seattle Seahawks\u2019 O-line position battles<\/a>
