Tennessee alum Joe Milton is headed into his second NFL season as a professional quarterback. Milton spent the 2024 season with the New England Patriots, but was traded to the Dallas Cowboys this offseason. He’ll open the 2025 season behind three-time Pro Bowler Dak Prescott, who is coming back from a season-ending hamstring injury.

Milton has often been heralded as one of the hardest-throwing quarterbacks in all of football. He went viral in 2022 when Tennessee‘s social media accounts posted a video of him throwing an orange 100-yards from end zone to end zone.
