The NFL is all about finding that one player who can shake things up and take a team to the next level. And right now, the Las Vegas Raiders might have their eyes on a quarterback who could bring a whole new vibe to their offense. With the NFL Draft creeping up, they’re doing their homework, and one name keeps popping up. Jalen Milroe.

The Alabama QB is reportedly set to visit the Raiders for a private workout. Which means they’re at least a little curious about what he can bring to the table. Milroe, who declared for the 2025 NFL Draft in January, is a certified dual-threat QB with crazy athleticism and leadership skills. Former Alabama coach Nick Saban summed it up best: “He’s our guy.” If Saban’s backing him like that, you know he’s got something special.

But Jalen Milroe’s journey hasn’t been all sunshine and trophies. Growing up in Katy, Texas, he had to grind his way to a starting spot at Alabama. Once he got there, though, he made sure people remembered his name. As a two-year captain, he led Alabama to multiple College Football Playoff appearances, two SEC titles, and three straight New Year’s Six games. Oh, and he didn’t just ball out on the field—he also graduated cum laude with a management degree and later pursued a master’s in sports management. That’s some serious dedication, and it even earned him the William V. Campbell Trophy in 2024, aka the Academic Heisman.

Now, let’s talk numbers. In 2024, Milroe completed 64.3% of his passes for 2,844 yards, throwing 16 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. But his real magic happens when he takes off running—he racked up 726 rushing yards and broke Alabama’s single-season rushing TD record for a QB with 20 scores, passing Jalen Hurts. His most insane performance? A career-high 185 rushing yards and four touchdowns against LSU. Even Hurts had to give him props, saying, “He’s always been a very special player… He’s just continued to grow and grow and grow, and it’s been really, really nice to watch.”

Jalen Milroe’s got all the tools—an absolute cannon for an arm, ridiculous speed, and that playmaking ability that keeps defenses on their toes. But his mindset? Chef’s kiss. When asked about his growth, he said, “I had to look in the mirror and say, ‘How can I improve? How can I get better?’… It was about being there for everybody else around me, being the best version of me.” That kind of attitude? Yeah, NFL teams eat that up.

So, how would he fit with the Raiders? Well, his mobility would give their offense a fresh new dimension, and his leadership could bring some much-needed energy to the locker room. Alabama’s new head coach, Kalen DeBoer, even said, “He just comes to the practice facility with a smile on his face… The energy about him has become contagious.” That’s the kind of guy teams want in their building.

With the draft coming up, the Raiders kicking the tires on Jalen Milroe just shows they’re exploring all options at QB. Will they actually pull the trigger and draft him? That’s still up in the air. But one thing’s for sure—whoever takes a chance on Milroe is getting a dude with crazy potential, a strong work ethic. And a game that could seriously shake things up in the NFL.

Shedeur Sanders wants to keep the vibes right

The NFL is stacked with talent, but what if the locker room vibes are off? Yeah, that can mess up everything. Shedeur Sanders gets it. With quarterbacks switching teams left and right, he’s not just looking at who’s got skills—he’s all about keeping the energy light and the competition fun. And when it comes to Geno Smith landing with the Raiders and the Giants bringing in Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, he’s got some thoughts.

First up, Geno to Vegas. Sanders is hyped about it. “I knew Geno for a minute,” he said, making it clear they’ve been cool for a while. But what stood out most? He called Geno “somebody you could kick it with.” That chemistry matters, especially for the Raiders, who are still figuring out their QB situation. And it’s not just talk—Sanders even threw up a pic with Geno on Instagram, captioning it “Legendary.” You don’t post that unless you respect the guy.

Then there’s the Giants, who hit the QB reset button by signing Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. Wilson came in with confidence, straight-up saying, “I expect to be the starter.” Meanwhile, Winston brings his own veteran experience. But Sanders? He just hopes they don’t make it too serious. “I just hope it ain’t everybody in there just too serious, serious, bro,” he said. He wants that friendly competition energy, because when the QB room is too stiff, it kills the vibe.

At the end of the day, football isn’t just about arm strength or stats. It’s about chemistry, vibes, and having a locker room that actually clicks. Whether it’s Geno stepping up in Vegas or Russ and Jameis figuring it out in New York, Sanders is making one thing clear: you gotta have fun while you ball out.
