Jalen Milroe Has Accepted an Invite to the NFL Draft

In a major sign of his rising stock, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe has officially accepted an invitation to attend the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin on April 24, according to NFL Draft Analyst Dane Brugler. This year's draft class is expected to feature just 8 to 10 players in attendance, as announced by the league earlier this year, making Milroe's inclusion all the more significant- and reflective of how far he's come in recent months.

Once considered a borderline Day 2 prospect with an inconsistent draft prediction, Milroe has skyrocketed up draft boards after an outstanding performance at both the NFL Combine and Alabama's Pro Day. Showcasing elite athleticism, a powerful arm, and speed, Milroe turned heads and changed narratives.

Now, it appears he's made a strong enough impression to earn first-round consideration - and perhaps even a long-term future as a franchise quarterback.

At the forefront of the conversation are the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh holds the 21st overall pick, and multiple reports indicate that the organization has taken a serious interest in Milroe throughout the pre-draft process.

With an uncertain quarterback situation that includes the departure of veteran Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, and the still-unresolved future of veteran Aaron Rodgers, the Steelers appear to be weighting all their options. Adding Milroe could give them a dynamic, high-upside option to build around for the future.

Whether the Steelers ultimately pull the trigger at No. 21 remains to be seen, but Milroe's invitation to Green Bay is a clear indicator that NFL teams believe in his talent - and his potential to lead a franchise.
