How early could Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe hear his name called in the 2025 NFL draft?

According to Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz, "Milroe’s name has been gaining steam in recent weeks."

After reportedly meeting with the Cleveland Browns for an official, top-30 visit on Tuesday, the Alabama product has meetings lined up with three more teams: the New York Giants, Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks.

In addition to a top-30 meeting with the Browns, Schultz previously reported that Milroe participated in private workouts with Cleveland. The New Orleans Saints also hosted Milroe for a private workout, and both sessions "were described as 'impressive.'"

As the name suggests, a "top-30 visit" is one of 30 official visit invites that each team is allowed ahead of the draft. However, the name does not necessarily imply a player is within the top 30 players on a given team's big board of prospects.

OPINION: Draft high, dream big: Former Alabama star quarterback Jalen Milroe is an NFL project

Milroe finished the 2024 season with 2,844 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions to go along with a 64.3% completion rate. He also continued to show off his capabilities as a dual-threat quarterback, rushing 168 times for 726 yards (4.3 yards per rush) and 20 rushing touchdowns.

The Alabama quarterback did not participate in testing at the NFL scouting combine, but he ran an aggregated 4.40-second 40-yard dash at Alabama's pro day in March.

That would tie him with former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback-to-wide-receiver convert Reggie McNeal as the third-fastest 40 time of any quarterback. Only Michael Vick (4.33 seconds) and Lamar Jackson (4.34) recorded faster times.
