Give Joe Milton this—the man has a cannon. And some style, too.
The NFL draft prospect showed off his powerful right arm during Tennessee’s pro day on Wednesday, capping off one deep pass with a backflip:

The athleticism isn’t in question, but Milton’s draft stock is.
The B/R NFL Scouting Department didn’t have Milton among the top 200 prospects at this year’s draft on its latest big board, and he didn’t crack the top eight quarterbacks.
Milton, who split his college career between Michigan (2018-20) and Tennessee (2021-23), threw for 2,831 yards, 20 touchdowns and five interceptions last season, completing 64.7 percent of his passes.
The fact that it was easily the 24-year-old’s best college campaign after six years in school casts some doubts on his ability to consistently produce at the next level, though he certainly has elite arm strength.
