The Patriots are adding another quarterback into the mix, selecting Tennessee’s Joe Milton with the 193rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Milton has a similar skillset to his fellow rookie signal caller Drake Maye. Both have top-end arm strength in the 2024 class, and Milton in particular is believed by scouts to have the biggest arm in the draft.
The focus remains on Maye moving forward, but Milton adds some insurance and intrigue into the increasingly crowded QB room in Foxborough. Officially, there are five QBs on New England’s roster: Maye, Milton, Jacoby Brissett, Nathan Rourke, and Bailey Zappe.
