According to multiple reports, former Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe has met with the Detroit Lions at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine.
โI was able to talk to the Lions,โ Milroe said as quoted by Lions OnSI. โWhat God has in store for me, Iโm gonna pursue that as much as possible, but down the road thatโd be something great, to be able to play with my brother.โย
Jalen Milroe Says Terrion Arnold is his Best Friend
While speaking to the media, Milroe told reporters that Lions CB Terrion Arnold is his best friend.
โTerrionโs my best friend. Heโs my guy to this day. Heโs someone who, throughout college, we had a great relationship,โ Milroe said. โEach and every day building and talking, and the best thing we had was we were able to be vulnerable around each other and explain our thought process. Itโs a social norm to be considered tough and not be able to express your thoughts, but thatโs someone that I leaned on to be able to talk to and thatโs my dawg for life.โ
Is Milroe a Fit for the Detroit Lions?
As it stands, Hendon Hooker will be the Lions No. 2 quarterback when the 2025 season begins. That said, if the Lions donโt believe that Hooker is a good option to back up Jared Goff, they could look to select a QB in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Milroe, who is the No. 5 ranked quarterback prospect according to Dane Brugler of the The Athletic, will almost certainly be a Day 2 pick. Could the Lions select Milroe with the No. 60 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft? Time will tell!
