The Seattle Seahawks may have found something special in their third-round quarterback selection.
Jalen Milroe has turned heads during the early stages of training camp with displays of arm talent.
While Sam Darnold remains entrenched as the starter, Milroe’s work in practice sessions has generated the kind of buzz that suggests his development timeline might be accelerated.
The former Crimson Tide signal caller has shown flashes of the elite physical tools that made him an attractive draft target.
Seahawks reporter Brian Nemhauser shared details of one particularly impressive practice session that highlighted Milroe’s competitive nature.
“Jalen Milroe had a heck of a practice. He was making so many plays with his arm that he did pushups on the sideline after completing a 20 yard pass to Ricky White because the throw forced White to dive for it,” Nemhauser wrote on X.

That moment captured the intensity Milroe has brought to Seattle’s facility.
The rookie quarterback possesses arguably the strongest arm in this year’s draft class.
His rushing ability has drawn comparisons to dynamic quarterbacks like Cam Newton and Lamar Jackson.
Beyond the physical attributes, Milroe has impressed coaches with his approach to preparation.
He arrives early to study film and has maintained a team-first mentality that resonates well in the locker room.
The path to meaningful playing time remains steep for the rookie.
Drew Lock currently holds the backup role behind Darnold.
Even if injury creates an opportunity, Milroe would likely see limited action in his first season.
Still, the Seahawks may find creative ways to utilize his dual-threat capabilities.
Special packages that take advantage of his mobility could provide a glimpse of his potential while he continues developing as a pocket passer.
