Jalen Milroe’s growth as a passer continues to encourage Nick Saban

Nick Saban described Alabama’s second scrimmage as ‘spotty’ and ‘inconsistent,’ but he is encouraged by Jalen Milroe’s growth as a passer.

The sophomore quarterback from Texas performed well in the first game-like practice and continues to make progress. Bryce Young is the Crimson Tide’s starting quarterback, and he looks to defend his crown as the Heisman Trophy winner. Young wants to win a College Football Playoff National Championship as a starter, but the Tide knows an NFL future awaits him.

Milroe tossed a touchdown pass to Jermaine Burton in the first scrimmage, but he suffered from dropped passes today at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
