The star QB of Alabama just shone his light brighter than ever! In the wake of Nick Saban‘s exit, Kalen DeBoer is expected to be the next big coach to lead the team to similar glory. Yet, people tend to forget that a lot of the leadership responsibility also falls on the shoulders of Jalen Milroe, who is expected to be the QB that guides the Alabama Crimson Tide to their wins.

Jalen Milroe has been at Alabama since 2021, his freshman year. He’s going to step into the 4th and the last year of his college eligibility with the men in Crimson and will have all the eyes of the fans upon him as the team begins their new era under Kalen DeBoer. Moreover, it has been bad luck for Milroe since he’s part of the only class under Nick Saban that didn’t win a national championship but maybe under DeBoer, it will be different. As for now, the turnout for Milroe’s autograph proved that he’s a beloved member of the Bama community.

The fans show up in a frenzy for a glimpse of Jalen Milroe

During the practice on 12th August, Jalen Milroe set up a little booth to give out autographs to his fans, and let’s just say, that the craze was a bit too overwhelming. As per the view, the fans lined up all the way to the other end of the field to get his signature. The love for Milroe in Alabama is real and true but nobody expected this sort of a turnout for the QB’s autograph.

Jalen Milroe was especially patient with the children who came up to his stand, going so far as to even ask them questions about the sports they play. But that’s not all. From kids to adults to even teenagers were all lined up all over the field to get to talk to Jalen Milroe. Seeing as how he’s going to be a vital addition to the NFL next year, all the Alabama fans wanted to get a signature from the future generational talent before he’s gone from Tuscaloosa forever. Furthermore, his last year in Alabama could just lead the fans to witness a side to him that has never been seen before since the combination of Jalen-Kalen looks to be an amazing fusion.

Jalen Milroe compliments the new coaching style of Kalen DeBoer

What’s really noteworthy about Kalen DeBoer is that he’s trying his best to not look like he’s imitating the coaching styles of Nick Saban, while everyone expects him to follow the contradiction. According to the players, DeBoer is employing a much “nicer” approach than Saban ever did, going so far as to even bring ice-cream trucks into practice to give the players a much-needed break.

The fans have been noticing how Milroe’s leadership traits have drastically increased ever since DeBoer filled Saban’s shoes. This is what the QB said while highlighting the qualities of DeBoer. Milroe said, “I enjoy being around him beyond the coaching. He’s done a really good job of just getting to know the players. With the short time that he’s been there, everyone has built a relationship with Coach DeBoer.” Thus, this looks to be a much more promising as well as a pleasant environment within the team rather than the strict regime that Nick Saban used to lead in his time with the Crimson Tide.
