AI Revolution: Not Just For Techies Anymore – Dive Into The Future Today!

Is Athletic Ability the New QB Standard?

Picture this: A young, dynamic quarterback, not just throwing the ball, but sprinting, juking, and adding a layer of athletic unpredictability that’s missing in traditional pocket passers. Is this fluid athlete, Jalen Milroe from Alabama, the embodiment of the evolving NFL?

As the Seattle Seahawks embark on what many believe could be a rebuilding phase, having let go of key players like Geno Smith, D.K. Metcalf, and Tyler Lockett, one couldn’t help but wonder, could the team’s fortunes be transformed by harnesssing Milroe’s athletic flair and poised determination?

Milroe, selected in the 2025 NFL Draft at pick No. 92, is an intriguing prospect. Not just because of his towering presence or his fearless approach to the game, but because Head Coach Mike Macdonald seems to have a vision for him that defies the generic “run-first QB” label. “Jalen’s a quarterback through and through,” Macdonald said. His athleticism, we believe, will indeed come alive, enhancing our offensive capabilities in ways we anticipate will bewilder opponents.

But here’s the pickle, or should I say, the provender:
– While the prevailing opinion might laud Milroe’s prowess with his legs over his arm, Macdonald insists on instilling in him the responsibilities and duties of a quarterback, not just a quarterback-shaped arrow aimed at the end zone.

– We’ve all witnessed the cautionary tales of QBs relegated to “gadget” roles sans the influence to shape a season. Yet, Milroe’s own tenacious spirit and physical game signal he might not only subvert expectations but redefine what we demand from a modern QB.

– Sure, veteran Sam Darnold is tapered to adorn the starting helm for now, but should the winds blow against him, Milroe’s moment might not be far off.

So, as the Emerald City gears up for a transitional year with its behemoth of a franchise, can Jalen Milroe be the breath of fresh air, or is he just another piece in the ongoing jigsaw puzzle of the Seahawks’ resurgence? Only time, and of course, Milroe’s on-field savvy, will tell.

The Seattle Seahawks appear to be heading for a bit of a rebuild as they parted ways with several of their key players this offseason.

Out are players like Geno Smith, D.K. Metcalf, and Tyler Lockett, and in are their replacements, such as Sam Darnold and Cooper Kupp.

While Darnold and Kupp are strong veteran additions, the Seahawks appear to be behind as far as the NFC West rankings go.

However, the team has been busy during the 2025 NFL Draft, adding young players they can hopefully build around for years to come.

One such player that has a lot of interest is Jalen Milroe, whom Seattle selected with the No. 92 overall pick.

Head coach Mike Macdonald explained how he plans to use Milroe next season, via Brady Henderson of ESPN.

“Jalen’s a quarterback through and through,” Macdonald said. “He’s going to be trained to play quarterback with us and when he’s in there, he’s going to play quarterback, but the athleticism is going to come to life when he’s on the field, and that’s how he’s going to help us.”

Milroe is a tough and physical player at the quarterback position, though the prevailing thought is that his legs would help him establish a role in the NFL rather than his arm.

However, it sounds like Macdonald has no plans to use him strictly as a runner in special packages, so Milroe could see some real snaps this year.

Darnold is the projected starter for the foreseeable future, but if he struggles, it would open up a path for Milroe to step in.
