The New England Patriots have made a strategic move by selecting rookie quarterback Joe Milton in the sixth round of the draft. This decision comes after picking up Drake Maye as the future quarterback of the team in the third overall pick. Additionally, Jacoby Brissett is on the roster to provide experience and guidance to Maye. Bailey Zappe and Nathan Rourke are also part of the quarterback depth chart.
Milton has expressed his determination to compete for playing time as a quarterback for the Patriots. He emphasized that he has only discussed playing the quarterback position with the team and has not considered playing any other position. Despite rumors that teams might consider him as a tight end, Milton dismissed this idea, stating that he is solely focused on playing quarterback for New England.
As a rookie, Milton’s path to playing time remains unclear, but it is evident that he is resolute in his decision to pursue the quarterback position. It seems unlikely that he will deviate from his chosen position, which he has been playing for years. Overall, Milton’s commitment to becoming a successful quarterback in the NFL bodes well for the future of the New England Patriots’ offense.
