Whether it’s their identical first name, they’re both dual-threat quarterbacks originally from Texas, an eerily similar skillset or their coincidental roller-coaster careers at Alabama, Jalen Milroe has heard all the comparisons to Jalen Hurts.

"It's just the way he talks," one of Hurts' former teammates said. "But even deeper than that, it's more so the way he looks at life."

Hurts was coached by his father when he played on the Channelview High School football team.
