Jalen Milroe makes his first appearance in full Seattle Seahawks uniform
Quarterback Jalen Milroe made his first appearance in a full Seattle Seahawks uniform on Saturday at the 31st annual NFLPA Rookie Premiere in Los Angeles.
The union’s annual orientation for the league’s “emerging stars” featured seminars on financial planning and brand building and connected the players with NFLPA business partners with the aim of helping them enhance their careers beyond the field.
Fanatics unveiled each rookie’s jersey, and among the highlights of the event yearly are the photoshoots in full uniform by Panini for football cards.
The Rookie Premiere is hosted by the NFL Players Association through its marketing and licensing arm NFL Players Inc.
Milroe was among the 42 players who will be rookies in the NFL’s 2025 season invited to this year’s event.
The Seahawks selected Milroe from Alabama in the third round on April 25.

Seattle chose Milroe after he completed 392-of-603 passes for 5,678 yards with 39 touchdowns and 17 interceptions and ran for 1,257 yards and 32 touchdowns on 329 carries in his two seasons as the Crimson Tide’s starting QB.
The Seahawks have two other quarterbacks. Sam Darnold and Drew Lock signed with Seattle as free agents this offseason after the Seahawks traded Geno Smith, their starter for the past three seasons, to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Darnold is slated to be the starter in 2025 after signing a three-year, $105.5 million contract.
The OTA portion of Seattle’s offseason program is scheduled to begin May 27. In Phase 3 of the offseason workouts, teams are allowed to hold 11-on-11 (but still no-contact) drills. The Seahawks’ mandatory minicamp is June 17-19. It’s the only portion of the offseason program that players are required to attend.
