Before Joe Milton was wowing Tennessee Vols fans with his big arm on Rocky Top, he was a quarterback at Michigan for three seasons.
Milton signed with the Wolverines out of high school before transferring to Tennessee ahead of the 2021 season.
At Michigan, Milton was viewed as a player with plenty of upside who just needed to find some consistency.
While there were some things on the field at Michigan that Milton needed to iron out, his off-field qualities were superb (just as they were at Tennessee).
Former Michigan wide receiver Roman Wilson, a former teammate of Milton in Ann Arbor, was asked about Milton this week at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis.
And Wilson made it clear that he’s a big fan of Milton.
“Joe’s an unbelievable guy,” said Wilson ( via The Detroit News ). “Great arm talent, like everybody knows, a great leader. I wish he could have stayed; I wish it could have worked out. I feel like if it would have worked out, it would have been incredible; it would have been unreal…He’s still a Michigan man, at heart.”
