Jalen Hurts and Jalen Milroe have undoubtedly been two of the top prospects to recently come out of Alabama Crimson Tide in College Football. Hurts’ talent is so remarkable that he led the Philadelphia Eagles to victory in the latest Super Bowl, an achievement that his counterpart, Milroe, hopes to replicate with his own upcoming NFL career.

In a recent interview with the press, the former starting quarterback under Kalen DeBoer shared his thoughts on his relationship with Jalen Hurts and the impact the QB has on each game he plays with his team in the league.

“What I take from him is seeing how right looks like. Throughout the whole period of time, with him keeping his head down, continues to grind, keep refining his skillset, and just keep elevating. To me, that’s important in itself, whether it’s on the field and off the field, you look at the impact he had off the field — people misinterpret that as well,” Milroe shared on NFL Live.

Milroe stood out last season at Alabama for his impressive running ability, in addition to having an outstanding statistical campaign. Now, all that remains to be seen is what the future holds for him once the upcoming NFL Draft kicks off.
