Milroe's New Role: Seahawks' Wildcat Surprise

About this episode

Jalen Milroe, a third-round NFL draft pick, may not be the Seattle Seahawks starting QB anytime soon, with Sam Darnold secured as the long-term QB. Milroes rookie deal has three years left, and his limited snaps last season, including a costly fumble, havent shown a clear path for him under center. Fans and analysts debate trading him or keeping him as a roster spot. New offensive coordinator Brian Fleury plans to use Milroes Alabama speed at running back or in the run game, keeping defenses guessing without full passing reps. Seahawks fans eagerly await how this unconventional approach will unfold.

On April 30th, Jalen Milro, the third round pick from the 2025 NFL draft, ain't looking like the starting quarterback for the Seattle. Seahawks, anytime soon. Sam Darno locked in as the long-term QB1 up in the Pacific Northwest, and Milro still got three years left on his rookie deal. Straight up, no clear path for him under center. Last season, those few snaps he got a quarterback didn't go smooth. Every play flopped, in that fumble in week five against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, killed a drive and probably cost him the game. Seattle lost, and it showed why they hesitant to give him more reps there. Fans and analysts buzzing about what to do, trade him for a shot elsewhere, or keep him eating a roster spot that could go to an edge rusher instead. It feels like a disservice either way if he just sits, but maybe there's a smarter play keeping him around without forcing the QB role. New offensive coordinator, Brian Flurry, cooking up something fresh for 20, 26, and beyond. Lie Milro up and running back with that Alabama speed,

or mix him into the run game to keep defenses guessing. No full passing reps needed, just execute runs and Wildcat looks to stay off balance. Whatever Flurry schemes, as long as it clicks and produces, watching Milro hit the field in unexpected ways, going to be straight fire for Seahawks fans. Can't wait to see how it unfolds.
