Is Joe Milton III playing today in the Senior Bowl?

Joe Milton III draft projection

Joe Milton III is an intriguing player who needs to perform well for others to notice him. He has been primarily slotted as a backup quarterback in college football and did well in his first season. Milton III feels like a Day 3 pick and will compete in NFL training camp for the backup QB position.

Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing 235 pounds, he could be a fit for the QB position. He has to improve his ability to read the defense after the snap. He is also a bit older for a rookie QB, as he is 24 years old. Milton struggles under pressure and looks predictable with his movements as he uses some maneuvers to avoid defenders.

Milton has strong pocket awareness and outstanding zip on his throws. With an excellent release, he is an interesting player in the QB class. While there is room for improvement, Milton III can continue to climb draft boards. He could be in the discussion as a potential Day 2 pick in the upcoming NFL draft.
