The New England Patriots have made a strategic move by selecting rookie quarterback Joe Milton in the sixth round of the draft. This decision came after picking up Drake Maye as the future quarterback of the team in the third overall pick. In addition to Maye, 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 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.
The path to playing time for Milton 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. With his focus and determination, Milton could be an asset to the Patriots’ quarterback depth chart in the future.
