During Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Seahawks selected Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe 92nd overall, who could test Darnold for his spot, much like J.J. McCarthy would have had Darnold re-signed with the Vikings.

Seattle used their last pick of three Friday, late in the third round, to select Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe 92nd overall in the NFL draft.

The Seattle Seahawks just drafted their quarterback of the future. But don't worry, Jalen Milroe isn't going to knock new $100 million QB Sam Darnold out of his starting job anytime soon. It's a perfect setup for Milroe. He can learn from the veteran Darnold, who knows what it was like to be a highly touted draft pick.
