BREAKING NEWS:Seattle icon from Alabama rooting for Seahawks’ new Crimson Tide hope
Seattle Seahawks fans have a compelling reason to be excited about their new quarterback, Jalen Milroe, a standout from the Alabama Crimson Tide. Selected 92nd overall in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Milroe brings a blend of athleticism and humility to Seattle. His selection was announced by none other than Seahawks and Alabama legend Shaun Alexander, adding a touch of Crimson Tide pride to the moment.
Milroe’s commitment to team culture is evident; he chose to delay selecting his jersey number, allowing veteran players the opportunity to choose first, a gesture that has been widely praised. Known for his explosive speed and strong arm, Milroe is seen as a developmental quarterback with significant upside.
Joining Milroe in Seattle is his former Alabama teammate, tight end Robbie Ouzts, selected in the fifth round. Ouzts, primarily recognized for his blocking prowess, adds depth to the Seahawks’ roster.
The Seahawks’ investment in these Alabama players reflects a strategic move to infuse the team with young talent possessing both skill and character. As the new season approaches, fans will be watching closely to see how Milroe and Ouzts contribute to Seattle’s quest for success.
