His overall time of 4.40 seconds places him among elite quarterbacks known for their athletic prowess, underscoring his rare combination of mobility and arm strength. Milroe’s performance during additional drills reinforced his potential, dispelling doubts about his passing capabilities and boosting his standing among competitive prospects.

Potential in a Promising Future
During a recent dinner meeting with the Steelers’ leadership, including head coach Mike Tomlin, general manager Omar Khan, and quarterbacks coach Tom Arth, Milroe expressed enthusiasm for the team and its competitive environment in the AFC North. He spoke confidently about embracing any opportunity to lead on the field, should he be entrusted with the role of quarterback. With Pittsburgh actively seeking a long-term solution at the position, the organization’s interest in his unique blend of athleticism and talent positions him as a compelling prospect for the future.
