NFL Scout Compares Alabama's Jalen Milroe to Colin Kaepernick: 'Big, Athletic, Fast'

While he may not be among the marquee names of college football quarterbacks, Alabama signal caller Jalen Milroe is beginning to catch the eye of some pro scouts.

The sophomore isn't eligible for the 2024 NFL draft that is headlined by Caleb Wilson, Drake Maye and Michael Penix Jr., but that hasn't stopped people from drawing some comparisons for the first-year starter.

And one NFL scout sees shades of former San Francisco 49ers star Colin Kaepernick.

"Kid just keeps getting better and better. Honestly he kinda reminds me of (Colin) Kaepernick a little bit. Big, athletic, fast, big arm, and big plays," the scout told NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
