Former Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton has been turning heads at the New England Patriots training camp. Despite being a sixth-round draft pick, Milton has been outshining North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye, who was selected much earlier in the draft. According to reports from camp, Milton’s size, athleticism, and arm strength have been impressive, with him even outplaying Maye in the early practices.
Veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett is currently taking first-team reps, with Maye coming in at number two. However, it is Milton who has been stealing the show with his performances on the field. He has been showcasing his arm talent and making eye-catching plays, including throwing consecutive touchdown passes during red zone drills.
While it is still early in training camp and rookies often take time to adjust to the NFL level, Milton’s strong showing is a promising sign for his future. Despite facing inconsistency during his time at Tennessee, his raw talent has always been evident. If he can continue to impress at camp, he may earn himself a shot to prove his abilities in a game situation.
The competition between Milton and Maye will be one to watch as camp progresses. It is not often that a sixth-round pick outshines a higher draft pick in the same position group, but Milton’s performance has been impossible to ignore. Fans of the Patriots and followers of Tennessee football will be eager to see how this storyline develops throughout the rest of the offseason.
