Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Joe Milton is a very interesting 2024 NFL Draft prospect. He is 6’5″ and weighs 235 lbs and was a senior this past season at Tennessee. Milton last season completed 64.7% of his passes for 2,813 yards, 20 touchdowns, and five interceptions.
He also rushed for 299 yards on 78 carries and seven touchdowns, along with averaging 3.8 yards per carry. During Milton’s Pro Day, he ran a 4.5 40-yard dash and was also making some deep throws during his workout.
As I said before, Joe Milton is the greatest raw talent of all time at the QB position.

According to the Bleacher Report NFL Scouting Department, they do not have Joe Milton as one of the top 200 prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft and they don’t have him listed in the Top 8 quarterbacks in this draft class. Caleb Williams, J.J. McCarthy, Michael Penix Jr., Michael Pratt, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, and Bo Nix are seven of the quarterbacks that are listed ahead of him in the 2024 NFL Draft.
He is 24 years old and is a very raw prospect. Milton will feel like a major project no matter who drafts him.

Milton throwing a football 90 yards down the field is a nice trait to have. However, one of the things quarterbacks need to survive at the NFL level is to know how to read a defense and be accurate. One of the reasons why Volunteers quarterback Milton is ranked low is because scouts don’t see much with his game. Someone may draft him in the sixth or seventh round in the 2024 NFL Draft,
