Jalen Milroe may have been selected before Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL draft, but this does not mean the Seattle Seahawks quarterback is without something to prove as the signal-caller begins his pro career. Milroe was the fourth quarterback selected in the draft, behind Cam Ward (No. 1), Jaxson Dart (No. 25) and Tyler Shough (No. 40).

Ironically, the No. 92 overall pick used to draft Milroe came from the Las Vegas Raiders in the Geno Smith trade. But the connections to former Seahawks quarterbacks do not end there. Milroe becomes the first quarterback Seattle has drafted in the third round since... Russell Wilson during the 2012 NFL draft.
