Joe Milton III Gets Inaugural Senior Bowl Honor

Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton III is beloved everywhere he goes. The NFL Draft prospect earned the admiration of Knoxville, Tennessee, amid much national scrutiny during his lone season as the starter for the University of Tennessee. His positivity and life helped his team through a tough season to stomach after the highs of an 11-win season.

Milton went 8-4 as a starter, doing what he could to keep the Vols on an upward trajectory. He amassed 2,813 passing yards and accounted for 27 touchdowns during his tenure as the starter, throwing just five interceptions in 2023. He made a lot of strides during his final season of college football and earned an invite to the Reese's Senior Bowl. Milton had a productive week of practice but earned attention for who he was off the field.

"This year we lost beloved member of the Senior Bowl family, Bryan Ingebrand. In his honor, we created "Good Guy Award", which will be presented yearly to Senior Bowler who was just a great guy behind-scenes. We are proud to announce inaugural winner is Tennessee QB Joe Milton. Appreciate you being such a good dude, Joe. You'll be a great addition to any NFL QB room!" Reese's Senior Bowl Director Jim Nagy

Those around Milton have long raved about the maturity and leadership he brought to a tough situation. Milton earned an invite to the NFL Combine on Tuesday, another opportunity to showcase his talents to professional scouts and franchise decision-makers.
