Analyst Calls Jalen Milroe a “Better Athlete Than Justin Fields” as the Alabama QB Gets Invited to NFL 2025 Draft

In football, quarterbacks are always at the center of attention.

Theyre the topic of conversation on every sports show and every best player in the world debate.

During the NFL Draft process, those chats have shifted from established veterans to prospects we hope take those reins.On The Athletics latest consensus big board, Cam Ward (No.

12 overall) is alone atop the QB hierarchy.

Shedeur Sanders (No.

32) and Jaxson Dart (No.

53) follow him.

Louisvilles Tyler Shough (No.

75) sits a bit further back.

Then, a few ticks behind him, theres Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe (No.

87).A ranking in the No.

85-95 range isnt typical for someone the scouting community believes will be a franchise quarterback.

Regardless, The Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show likes the upside Milroe would offer the Cleveland Browns.

One analyst, Dustin Fox, demonstrated his affinity for Milroe by comparing him to one of the leagues projected starting quarterbacks.I think [Jalen Milroe] is a better athlete than Justin Fields...

if you have him as your quarterback, [hes] going to carry the football 15 times a game, at least...

if youve got a quarterback that is a capable thrower [and] a dynamic runner...

on every play, that guy could go the distance, Fox said.The Browns can drastically overhaul their offense during the 2025 NFL Draft.

Operating from The Athletics rankings, Clevelands first three draft choices could theoretically nab them starters at WR, RB, and QB.No.

2 pick WR/CB Travis Hunter (No.

2 prospect)No.

33 pick RB TreVeyon Henderson (No.

37)No.

67 pick QB Jalen Milroe (No.

87)However, whats possible in theory doesnt always translate into reality.

And recent news surrounding Milroe indicates he may be long gone before the Browns are on the clock in round three.Jalen Milroe reportedly gets invited to 2025 NFL DraftJust one day ago, we pondered the possibility of Jaxson Dart getting invited to attend the 2025 NFL Draft in person.

Dart, a rival of Milroes at Ole Miss, has been one of the biggest risers throughout this draft process.

His improved standing as a likely first-round selection and unique fashion sense perhaps made him a great candidate to shake commissioner Roger Goodells hand in Green Bay.Weve yet to officially hear which prospects will be at this years draft.

But if a Sunday afternoon news drop from The Athletics Dane Brugler is accurate, Dart will almost certainly appear there.

Thats because Brugler reported that Milroe has received and accepted an invitation to attend the event.Source: Alabama QB Jalen Milroe has accepted an invitation to attend the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay.

Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) April 6, 2025Such invitations are typically reserved for players who are almost universally considered to be first-round picks.

All 13 attendees of the 2024 NFL Draft were often mocked as such.Missouri edge rusher Darius Robinson selected No.

27 overall was the last man in the green room last year.

Conversely, Milroe has not been mocked as a first-round choice by a major publication other than FOX Sports ESPN, CBS, PFF, The Athletic, etc.

since Feb.

19, which was six weeks ago.Do FOX Sports and the NFL potentially know something the rest of the world doesnt? Perhaps.

Its hard to believe the league would extend an invitation Milroes way if they werent confident hed hear his name called in round one.

At the same time, Geno Smith and Will Levis were consensus first-round picks but didnt get selected until the second round.

And news of Milroes invitation surprised analysts and fans alike.The fact they are supposedly only inviting 8-10 players this year.

That is majorly significant Michael Delaney (@Wolfmantula) April 6, 2025They cut back invites and he gets one? I dont get it...

K (@KGoBlue10) April 7, 2025Very interesting.Did Jaxson Dart get an invite? LetsGoBuffalo (@BillsR_Electric) April 6, 2025What am I missing here https://t.co/fEeSXzRlEB Brett Kollmann (@BrettKollmann) April 6, 2025Milroes inclusion, as you can see, is perplexing.

That may be putting it mildly.

Well see if the NFL knows what its doing when the 2025 NFL Draft begins on Apr.
