Drake Maye isn’t the only big, strong-armed Patriots rookie quarterback generating some buzz during this preseason.
Joe Milton was the only Patriots quarterback to throw a touchdown in Thursday night’s preseason-opening 17-3 win over the Panthers at Gillette Stadium Thursday night.
He finished 4-for-6 for 54 yards and tied for second on the Patriots rushing list with 22 yards on five carries.
Milton’s touchdown pass, a 38-yard strike to JaQuae Jackson on an out-and-up route, along with a pair of highlight-worthy scrambles, injected energy into an otherwise sluggish preseason contest between the two teams that tied for fewest points per game last year.
