Jalen Milroe 'impressive' in private workouts with Saints and Browns

Quarterback prospect Jalen Milroe had "impressive" workouts with the New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns, FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz reported on Monday. 

With less than three weeks before the NFL Draft, Milroe's stock is seemingly rising. He's accepted an invitation to attend the draft, per the Athletic, and has shown teams with high draft capital that he could be part of their future. 

Milroe is a skilled scrambler who could help an NFL team with his athleticism. 

"He's so explosive," FOX Sports' Joel Klatt said. "He's immediately the most dangerous player on the field."

That being said, he is a raw prospect who hasn't been included in the first round of many NFL mock drafts. 

FOX Sports NFL Draft analyst Rob Rang considered slotting Milroe in for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but ultimately decided Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough was a better fit. Klatt did not have Milroe ranked in his top 50 prospects piece released on Monday.

What's held Milroe back is his inconsistency as a passer. He never threw for more than 3,000 yards in a season in college, and he's coming off his final year at Alabama in which he threw 16 touchdowns to 11 interceptions.

But now that he's performed in front of scouts, his individual ability has stood out, and he could be an attractive prospect if a team thinks it can develop him. 

Both the Saints and Browns have picks inside the top 10 of the first and second rounds, as well as question marks at the quarterback position. 

The Saints are basically married to Derek Carr because of his contract situation. They signed him to a four-year, $150 million deal in 2023. He's owed around $75 million over the next two
