Report alleges Jalen Milroe deciding to leave Alabama stopped skill players from transferring

Things could have gone from bad to worse in Tuscaloosa this offseason.

According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, one AFC coordinator told him the following:

“We heard out of Alabama all the skill [players] would’ve transferred if [Milroe] came back.”

That is quite the statement considering Milroe is regarded as one of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, it isn’t too far-fetched.

After all, it seemed as if Milroe regressed as a passer from his redshirt sophomore season to his redshirt junior season. He was not as polished of a passer and struggled to make sound decisions in the pocket.
