Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe will attend the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wis. later this month, per multiple sources.

Milroe is one of the more polarizing prospects in this year's class, with NFL draft experts having him as high as a late first-round pick and going as late as the back parts of the second day. His attending the draft potentially could signal that his stock is on the higher end of projections, and he could hear his name called earlier than some think.

Milroe's unmatched athletic talent grouped with his inconsistency on film from the past two years has made him a highly-debated topic in the pre-draft process this year. In two years as a starter at Alabama, Milroe threw for 5,678 yards, 39 touchdowns and 17 interceptions while rushing for 1,257 yards and 32 touchdowns as well.

His 21-6 record as a starter includes an SEC Championship win and Rose Bowl appearance, but also losses to three unranked teams as well. For context, Nick Saban only lost to four total unranked teams in his 17 seasons in Tuscaloosa.

An unofficial 4.37 in the 40-yard dash at the Alabama Pro Day in March combined with his 6-foot-2, 225-pound stature still makes him an incredibly intriguing prospect.
