2025 Fantasy Outlook
A third-round pick in April, Milroe won’t challenge new Seahawks QB Sam Darnold for the starting job (not yet, anyway), but he could get a few snaps per game in packages designed to exploit his elite athleticism and rushing ability. This isn’t Taysom Hill 2.0, though. The team views him as a quarterback, not simply a gadget player. Milroe has plenty of standout traits -- exceptional arm strength, size (6-2, 217), smarts (Academic Heisman) and tremendous speed. He was clocked at 22.5 mph on a TD run last year -- faster than any run in the NFL in 2024 -- and set an Alabama QB record with 20 rushing scores. Milroe’s accuracy is the issue, as he often had poor ball placement on routine throws. On the other hand, he threw 10 TDs and no interceptions last season on passes 20-plus yards downfield. The only QB with a better TD:INT ratio on such throws was No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward (12:0). Milroe may not get playing time early on apart from gadget plays, but he's athletic enough to provide fantasy value if he eventually makes starts. Read Past Outlooks

Seattle swoops in
The Seahawks selected Milroe in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 92nd overall.
ANALYSIS
This is one of the most intriguing picks of Day 2, if not the entire draft thus far. Milroe is an extremely polarizing prospect. His proponents point to his undeniable tools; Milroe is well-built with a cannon arm and 4.4 speed. His detractors point to erratic accuracy and an inability to put touch on short and intermediate passes. Milroe started for two years at Alabama, completing 65 percent of his passes at 9.4 YPA with 39 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. He also ran for 1,257 yards and 32 touchdowns in those seasons. His 'wow' plays are up there with any quarterback in the class. There are moments in which he looks unstoppable, either with the deep ball or as a runner. There are also several concerning starts on his resume, such as the 2024 Oklahoma game, which explain why he was available at this stage. With Sam Darnold under a lucrative contract, the Seahawks can be patient with Milroe's development and see if they can turn him into a future starter.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
QB3 during OTAs
Milroe has worked mostly with the third-string unit during OTAs, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Seahawks took Milroe in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft with the expectation that he would spend his rookie season adjusting to the pro level while learning behind Sam Darnold. With Darnold and Drew Lock getting the bulk of reps with the starters, Milroe has mostly worked with the backups and players looking to earn a depth spot on the 53-man roster. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Thursday that Milroe will have the opportunity to earn regular snaps and that the Alabama quarterback will be used as a dual-threat quarterback when on the field during preseason play, per Dugar.
