“Do you think we should draft Joe Milton III out of Mississippi?” asks Julian Henry. “I think there’s a lot of potential there. But are fans overlooking him?

In terms of size, speed and athleticism, Tennessee’s Joe Milton III is similar to 2023 first-round pick Anthony Richardson.Milton is a 6-foot-5, 235-pound cannon for an arm. Despite being one of the oldest QB prospects (23 years old) in the 2024 draft class, he has a lot of untapped potential. After winning the 2022 Capital One Orange Bowl MVP award, he followed up with an impressive 2023 season in which he completed nearly 65 percent of his passes for 2,813 yards and 20 touchdowns through the air. The two-time leading scorer also added seven touchdowns on the field.He was invited to the 2024 Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, where he played in practice, but didn’t have the best outing in the annual showcase. He led the American team in passing yards with 80, but threw two interceptions in a 16–7 loss to the Nationals..

During that span, Fields threw for 33 touchdowns and broke the league record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single game in 2022 (178). That same year, Fields became the third quarterback in NFL history to rush for more than 1,000 yards. in season.

Because the 2024 NFL, with 13 picks in the draft, several drafts predict the team will select defensive end Byron Murphy II.
