With just days to go before the NFL Draft, teams are finalizing their plans to select the league’s next wave of stars. One name that continues to generate buzz is Jalen Milroe. The former Alabama quarterback is well aware of his talent — and he’s not shy about it. In fact, Milroe believes he may even surpass Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson in certain aspects of the game.

Jackson is arguably one of the most athletic QB’s in the league, and much of his success can be attributed to his physical prowess on the field. His speed and explosiveness as a runner have served the former Louisville standout well — in addition to possessing a powerful arm capable of delivering deep throws.

Milroe is widely considered one of the quarterbacks with the highest upside in the upcoming Draft. Among his many standout traits is his lower-body strength, which makes him one of the fastest at his position.

It’s a topic that’s sparked plenty of discussion — and when asked by Kay Adams on her show Up & Adams whether he believes he’s faster than Lamar Jackson, the former Alabama star didn’t hesitate to say yes.

Where could Jalen Milroe land in the upcoming NFL Draft?

With his elite athleticism, powerful arm, and dynamic playmaking ability, Jalen Milroe has positioned himself as a top-10 talent in this year’s NFL Draft. Several teams in need of a long-term answer at quarterback are keeping a close eye on the former Alabama standout — and among them, the Cleveland Browns are starting to generate serious buzz. Despite already having experienced QB’s on the roster, rumors suggest that the organization is exploring future options at the position, and Andrew Berry’s recent praise of Milroe has only fueled the speculation.

Another team to watch is the New York Giants. Milroe’s dual-threat capabilities would bring a fresh dynamic to Brian Daboll’s offense. The Las Vegas Raiders are also in the mix, currently rebuilding under new leadership and lacking a clear franchise QB. Milroe’s raw talent and upside make him a strong fit for a team looking to develop a new identity under center.
