In a pivotal draft year for Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, ESPN analyst Chris Doering suggests that Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe might be the solution to the team’s quarterback dilemma.
The Steelers are currently awaiting a decision from veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, leaving their quarterback situation uncertain. During this period, Coach Tomlin met with Milroe ahead of Alabama’s Pro Day, indicating the team’s interest in potential quarterback prospects.
Milroe’s 2024 season showcased his dual-threat capabilities, amassing 2,844 passing yards with 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, alongside 726 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns. Despite these impressive stats, concerns have been raised about his ball security and hand size, which measured 9 3/8 inches at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Doering believes Milroe’s athleticism and versatility could benefit the Steelers, whether or not Rodgers joins the team. He envisions Milroe contributing immediately through specialized packages or potentially stepping in as a starter, depending on the team’s needs.
As the draft approaches, the Steelers’ strategy at the quarterback position remains a focal point, with Milroe emerging as a potential candidate to address their offensive requirements.
