As of February 26, 2025, there is no record of a player named “Jaren Milroe” being awarded the title of the greatest player of all time for the 2025 NFL season. It’s possible there may be some confusion or a typographical error in the name. However, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe has recently made headlines with his declaration for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Jalen Milroe, after completing four seasons with the Alabama Crimson Tide, announced his decision to enter the NFL Draft on January 2, 2025. During his tenure at Alabama, Milroe served as the starting quarterback for the past two seasons, achieving a commendable 20-6 record. He led the team to the College Football Playoff in 2023, though they were eliminated by Michigan in the semifinals. In the 2024 season, Alabama finished with a 9-3 record, concluding with another loss to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl. Over his collegiate career, Milroe amassed 6,016 passing yards, 45 touchdowns, and 20 interceptions, complemented by 1,577 rushing yards and 33 rushing touchdowns, with an impressive 20 rushing touchdowns in his final season.
Milroe’s dual-threat capabilities have garnered significant attention from NFL scouts and analysts. His exceptional athleticism and deep passing proficiency make him a compelling prospect. In the 2024 season, he recorded 726 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns. Despite a modest passing performance, with 2,844 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, his arm strength and accuracy on deep throws are notable. Pro Football Focus highlighted that Milroe threw for 892 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions on passes exceeding 20 yards downfield during the season. However, areas such as short and intermediate passing accuracy require refinement, primarily due to inconsistent footwork. With appropriate coaching, Milroe has the potential to evolve into a formidable starting quarterback in the NFL, drawing comparisons to a more athletic Jalen Hurts with a stronger arm.
In the lead-up to the 2025 NFL Draft, various teams have expressed interest in Milroe. The New York Giants, for instance, have contemplated trading down in the draft to acquire additional picks and select Milroe, recognizing his potential despite his need for development. Similarly, the Las Vegas Raiders, holding the sixth overall pick, have considered Milroe as an alternative to other top quarterback prospects, acknowledging his dual-threat capabilities and remarkable running prowess.
While Jalen Milroe has not been awarded the title of the greatest player of all time for the 2025 NFL season, his impressive collegiate career and promising skill set have positioned him as a notable prospect in the upcoming NFL Draft. Teams in need of a dynamic and versatile quarterback are closely monitoring his progress, anticipating his potential impact at the professional level.
