QB Joe Milton surprised but thankful to be traded to Cowboys: 'Coming here was a blessing'

Our Summary

Joe Milton III, a sixth-round draft pick by the Patriots, was surprisingly traded to the Dallas Cowboys after a promising start in New England's season finale. Despite initially being backup to their top pick, Drake Maye, Milton now competes for the second quarterback position behind Dak Prescott in Dallas. He expresses gratitude for the opportunity, highlighting the chance to learn from Prescott, given Prescott's high salary and injury history. Milton is recognized for his strong arm but is working on consistency. His skill set complements the Cowboys' QB room, offering potential for future impact.
