Georgia’s Coach Kirby Smart appears to be quite impressed with the Tide’s quarterback Jalen Milroe with the matchup against Bama in the Benz and the SEC Championship just around the corner. He had nothing but good things to say about the third-year signal caller, even comparing him to the likes of Heisman Winner Lamar Jackson.
Smart said “this guy’s a bigger, physical version of that,” when describing Jackson’s elusiveness and ability to force defenders to miss in space.
What’s even more impressive is that he made that comparison after being asked if he could compare Milroe’s play to the likes of former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow because of the two’s supposed similarities in size and speed.
