Jalen Milroe‘s NFL fate continues to be a hot pick of the debate as we inch toward April’s Draft day. The Alabama quarterback couldn’t meet the benchmark expectations of the Crimson Tide last season, which culminated in a significant loss in the stock. Things could still be managed if he took charge and successfully reinforced his talent and skill during the Super Bowl exposure. But what he did is outright opposite. Milroe, the Texas native, failed to turn the heads of the scouts present at the Senior Bowl. Starting from footwork, timing, mechanics, and everything in between, Milroe was pretty average in his final exhibition before the draft.

However, when we struggle to find a breather, draft guru Jordan Palmer dished a small ray of hope that is enough to not lose hope on your once favorite QB.

Jalen Milroe’s NFL fate seems to flare up with a new hope

What awaits Milroe in the highly debated NFL race? Palmer revealed he spent some time with the Alabama QB and found his personality infectiously magnetic. Apart from the athleticism that’s been the biggest trait of Milroe, Palmer thinks his intangibles put a plus on his resume. Is he going to get an edge over the better prospects in the room?

“I mean that’s the way the combine has been set up. As a medical exam first and now it’s been dressed around some other things. I’ve been in there… I think it’s really crucial in the team evaluation of them getting to lock you in a room for 15 minutes and do all the games and all the things that I get guys prepared for,” Palmer said. And when Rich Eisen asked him, “Is Jaylen gonna do it?” The NFL draft guru said “Yes”.

Can Jalen Milroe still improve his draft stock with a controversial move?
