When Joe Milton joined the Patriots as a seventh round draft choice last year, the quarter-arre was behind the choice of first round Drake Maye and the reserved space veteran Jacoby Brissett on the depth painting.
It was perhaps not the place of optimal development, but Milton was able to show enough in an appearance of the week 18 to create a commercial buzz around him before the offseason. This buzz culminated in Milton while exchanging cowboys last week in a move that gave Dallas the young backup they wanted for Dak Prescott.
In his first comments after trade, Milton said that it also gave him the opportunity to learn behind an established NFL starter.
“It’s great, It’s a great person“Said Milton, via the team’s website.” It is the second time that I have met him, so being around him, I feel the great energy he brings and I mean and I can’t wait to learn from him and really compete. “
There may have been Some concerns In New England, on the way in which Milton’s presence would have an impact on the ascent of Maye to the masterpiece of the patriots because they were in the same draft class. There is no such concern in Dallas because they hope that a healthy Prescott helps Milton to continue to develop as a quarter of NFL.
