In a surprising move, the Seattle Seahawks traded Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders, receiving a third-round pick which they used to select Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe. Shortly after, Seattle inked Sam Darnold to a lucrative three-year deal, seemingly securing their starting quarterback situation. However, the addition of Milroe indicates a long-term vision for a dual-threat quarterback capable of putting pressure on opposing defenses.

Milroe, an explosive athlete and natural runner, showcased impressive college stats, including 879 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns. While he may not start immediately, his development in Klint Kubiak’s system could offer Seattle a unique offensive weapon moving forward. Both Darnold and Milroe have the potential to reshape Seattle’s passing game, particularly with Darnold's experience and Milroe's athleticism.
