Jalen Milroe celebrated a birthday on Wednesday, and he did so in the coolest of ways. Taking a helicopter ride over the city of Tuscaloosa, Milroe took in the scenes of Bryant-Denny Stadium from overhead.
That aerial trip had a number of Alabama fans losing their minds on social media with the Crimson Tide set to compete in a playoff game at the end of the month.
Alabama landed the fourth and final spot in the College Football Playoff, hopping an undefeated Florida State team. A win over Georgia in the SEC title game was enough to offset the Tide’s loss to Texas earlier in the season.
Milroe was a big part of the on-field success in squad’s 12-1 campaign. After a slow start, he blossomed into a potential Heisman trophy candidate while helping Alabama pick up huge wins along the way.
When all was said and done, he threw for 2,718 yards and 23 scores while leading the team in rushing touchdowns.
Alabama fans don’t want to be without him for an opening round matchup against top-ranked Michigan.
After seeing Milroe filming from the helicopter, the Crimson Tide fanbase simultaneously held their breath!
The responses online were gold.

“Get down from there Jalen.”
“Get my QB out of the sky.”
“Get him on solid ground NOW!!!”
“Do this AFTER Bama wins the national championship.”
“Who approved this? Someone keep him out of the air!”
Milroe made it back safely from that helicopter ride. Now that the birthday festivities are through, all focus will be on the Wovlerines.
