Jalen Milroe is apparently still growing.
While getting measured at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, the former Alabama quarterback’s hand appeared to have grown during the past month. By 5/8 of an inch, to be precise.
Milroe’s hands were measured at 8 3/4 inches at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, 28 days ago. At the combine, his hands were approximately a half-inch longer, measuring 9 3/8 inches. That’s good news for Milroe and any NFL teams interested in him because the acceptable threshold for a QB’s hands is considered to be 9 inches.
Did Milroe experience a growth spurt? Not in terms of height or weight. He was measured at both the Senior Bowl and NFL scouting combine at 6-foot-1 1/2, but weighed 3 pounds less in Indianapolis.
During his senior season with the Crimson Tide, Milroe completed 64.3% of his passes for 2,844 yards, 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 13 games. The TDs were down from the 23 he threw the previous season, while his INTs were up from six. Milroe also had a higher completion percentage in 2023 at 65.8%. However, he also rushed for 726 yards and 20 TDs in 2024, confirming he’s a dual threat at the position.
Milroe is projected to be a second or third round pick in April’s 2025 Draft.
