On Saturday afternoon, Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton III tested in front of NFL evaluators at the NFL Combine. USC's Caleb Williams, North Carolina's Drake Maye , and LSU's Jayden Daniels opted out of throwing and testing at the combine, meaning that Milton and a few other guys on the fringe got that much more opportunity to showcase themselves.
Milton has had some legendary workouts in these settings over the years. He drew rave reviews at the Manning Passing Academy last offseason and was one of the top physical standouts alongside many other top names in college football. On Saturday, he had the hardest throw of any participating quarterback at 62 miles per hour. He made several 70+ yard throws during the go-ball portion of the workout and capped the afternoon off with a backflip in front of the visiting crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The Tennessee Volunteers released an expansive look at Milton's workout on their team's social media pages. They help the fans walk through the process and how Milton performed in front of NFL executives as he attempts to boost his draft stock.
