The Dallas Cowboys made a splash before the NFL Draft by making a trade with the New England Patriots for quarterback Joe Milton III. The trade gave the team Dak Prescott's new backup after Cooper Rush and Trey Lance left in free agency.

Milton brings a cannon of an arm and some untapped potential that Brian Schottenheimer will hope to unlock.

Now that Milton is settling into Dallas, he has his new jersey number.
