The Seattle Seahawks are gearing up for an exciting offseason, and all eyes will be on sophomore quarterback Jalen Milroe as he looks to build on his rookie campaign. Selected with the 92nd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Milroe entered the league with a reputation as a dynamic dual-threat playmaker from Alabama, but his raw passing skills needed refinement—a fact that became clear during the preseason.
Milroe saw action in all three exhibition games, completing 22 of 39 passes (56.4%) for 255 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. His legs were equally active, rushing for 87 yards, though three fumbles raised concerns about ball security—a key area for growth this offseason.
During the regular season, the Seahawks tried to leverage Milroe's mobility, but he managed just three carries for four yards and lost a fumble. After that, he didn't see the field again as Seattle rode veteran Sam Darnold to a Super Bowl LX victory. Now, with Darnold returning to defend the title and Drew Lock providing reliable backup depth, Milroe faces a steep climb for playing time.
This offseason is critical for Milroe's development. He'll need to show head coach Mike Macdonald tangible improvement in his passing accuracy and decision-making, while tightening up his ball security. If he can take that next step, he could become a valuable asset in the Seahawks' quarterback room. It's a story worth following as Seattle prepares for OTAs and training camp.
