Jalen Milroe’s Sideline Wait | Seattle Seahawks News

About this episode

Jalen Milroe, the Alabama phenom drafted in the third round, sits on Seattle’s bench as the emergency third QB—only stepping in if starters Drew Lock and Sam Darnold both go down. Despite a Super Bowl ring from his rookie year and elite arm talent, he’s seen just three rushing attempts and zero passes in the regular season. With the Seahawks prioritizing stability over gadget plays, Milroe’s role remains minimal, turning his NFL debut into a waiting game for a chance to shine.

It's September 10th. This is Seattle Seahawks News today, driven by AI, your team, nonstop. So, Jalen Moro, the dude with all the arm talent coming out of Alabama, is still with the Seattle Seahawks. He was a third round pick in 2025, and while he's on the roster, he's currently the emergency third quarterback. That means he's only getting snaps if both the starter and the back of go down, which is a pretty rare situation. The Seahawks made a big move by signing Sam Darnal to a massive deal as their long-term starter. Then they brought in Drew Locke to be the reliable backup. This set up leaves Milro in a tough spot, not getting many practice reps, which makes it hard to develop and show what he can do. It's a bit of a mixed bag for Milro. He got a Super Bowl ring as a rookie, which is cool, but he's barely played. In his three games last season, he had just three rushing attempts for four yards and hasn't thrown a single pass in the regular season. The idea when he was drafted was maybe he could be used like a gadget player, similar to

how the Mar Jackson was used early in his career. Milro was a strong runner in college, but Seattle has it really explored that avenue with him. They seem to prefer sticking with their established quarterbacks. So, for now, Milro is on the sideline. He's part of a winning team, but he's not getting the game action he probably wants. It's a waiting game for the talented quarterback, hoping for an opportunity to prove himself in the league.
