Paris, France — The newest kid on the Michigan quarterback block, early enrollee freshman Joe Milton, feels like he stands as much chance to win the starting job this fall as transfer Shea Patterson, Brandon Peters, the starter late last season, and Dylan McCaffrey, a redshirt last year.

All four shared snaps during spring practice, and all four feel very good about how they progressed.

“I think it’s like a four-way tie,” Milton said Monday after the team’s paintball expedition that also included pickup soccer and riding a mechanical bull before heading out to tour Versailles.
