Kalen DeBoer’s resume of developing elite quarterbacks is getting richer by the year.

The head coach and his high-flying offense at Washington helped

Michael Penix Jr. parlay his pinpoint accuracy into a top-10 selection in this year’s NFL draft. DeBoer’s fingerprints are also on Jake Haener, who earned a fourth-round selection in 2023 after picking apart defenses from the pocket at Fresno State.

That streak of NFL passers might continue next spring, as Jalen Milroe is projected as a possible early-round pick. However, if the Alabama quarterback is indeed destined for the next level, his path might look a bit different than his DeBoer-led predecessors.
