The 2025 Senior Bowl commenced in Mobile, Alabama, with the first day of practice providing a glimpse into the talents of some of the nation’s top collegiate prospects. Among the quarterbacks vying for attention, Jalen Milroe of Alabama and Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss drew significant interest. Both quarterbacks showcased moments of brilliance, demonstrating their arm strength and athleticism, but also exhibited areas that require further development.
Milroe, known for his dynamic running ability and powerful arm, impressed with his ability to extend plays and make throws on the move. His deep ball looked particularly promising, showcasing his potential to be a dual-threat quarterback at the next level. However, his accuracy at times wavered, particularly on intermediate routes. Milroe also demonstrated a tendency to hold onto the ball for too long, leading to some hurried throws and potential sacks.
Dart, a transfer from USC, displayed a more polished passing game, displaying impressive touch and accuracy on shorter routes. His ability to read defenses and make quick decisions was evident throughout the practice. However, Dart’s lack of size and mobility compared to Milroe was noticeable. While he showed the ability to scramble when necessary, his overall athleticism was not as pronounced as Milroe’s.
The quarterbacks were not the only players drawing attention on the first day of practice. A number of other prospects demonstrated their talents, including wide receivers, defensive linemen, and linebackers. The Senior Bowl provides a valuable opportunity for these players to showcase their skills in front of NFL scouts and coaches, and the first day of practice did not disappoint.
As the week progresses, the quarterbacks and other prospects will have more opportunities to refine their skills and make a lasting impression. The Senior Bowl is a crucial stage for these players, and their performance over the next few days will undoubtedly influence their draft stock.
