The former Crimson Tide coach, who coached Milroe in three of his four seasons at Alabama and is now covering the NFL draft on ABC, applauded and shook his head. And with tears in his eyes, Saban broke down what the Seahawks were getting.

The Seattle Seahawks selected Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe with the 92nd pick in the 2025 NFL draft on Friday night, and his selection prompted excitement from Milroe's former head coach and current ESPN college football analyst Nick Saban.

Booker began attending Saban’s football camps in 2015, as noted during ABC’s NFL draft broadcast on Thursday. After the former Crimson Tide guard was selected No. 12 overall by the Dallas Cowboys, ABC showed a photo montage of Saban and Booker together through the years.
