Rookie quarterback Joe Milton III is thrilled with being drafted by the New England Patriots, partly because of his personal history with the team. Milton told reporters earlier in the week that he was a fan of the team growing up.
So it was a bit of a dream come true that he was selected in the sixth-round at No. 193 overall by the Patriots in the 2024 NFL draft. He comes to New England from the University of Tennessee, where he recorded 4,159 passing yards and 32 touchdowns in three seasons of play.
