How the military shaped the perfect QB in Jalen Milroe for Alabama football

It carries many similarities to football, so it principles translate well to the gridiron game.

The University of Alabama has the perfect quarterback shaped for this year’s football team.

In a transition year with a new head coach and a new identity, a young man with grounded values is needed to steer the ship in the direction of a possible conference and national championship. Jalen Milroe never had anything easy, but his upbringing taught him the value of commitment, discipline, trust, toughness, sacrifice, and teamwork. When something got difficult in his life, Milroe leaned on the two people that embraced challenges, handled difficult problems, and knew the value of leadership.
