The New England Patriots have their quarterback of the future in Drake Maye. That much is obvious. But they also have a very intriguing backup in Joe Milton III.
The Patriots drafted both Maye and Milton last year, taking Maye with the third overall pick and then selecting Milton in the sixth round.
Milton was always a compelling prospect coming out of Tennessee thanks to his size and his dual-threat capabilities, and that was on full display in New England's regular-season finale, when the 6-foot-5 signal-caller went 22-for-29 with 241 yards and a touchdown. He also punched in a rushing score.
