Jalen Milroe's arm strength on full display at Seahawks OTA's
Quarterback-watch is the No. 1 item on the menu this summer for the Seattle Seahawks. Not only are the Seahawks going with a new starter in Sam Darnold, they also added an intriguing new rookie into the mix with Alabama's Jalen Milroe. The consensus on Milroe is he is more of a project than a prospect. As in, this is going to be a long-term development investment in the former Crimson Tide standout.
Milroe has all the physical tools a team would want, but he is going to take time to develop to being an NFL-caliber signal caller. Yet it is important to remember how dynamic of an athlete he is. Media access at Seahawks OTA has been limited this summer, but on Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic caught a quick video of Milroe unleashing a deep ball. It's a tantalizing look at what Milroe can bring to the table.
Yes, OTA's are a highly controlled environment and it's just one throw. Still, it's June and we're all football-starved, so seeing the potential future quarterback of the Seahawks showing off some arm strength is more than enough to get the 12th Man a little excited.
Mike Macdonald has already affirmed Sam Darnold is the starter, and I would be surprised if anything (short of injury) would knock him from said perch.
