February 2, 2024; Mobile, AL, USA; All-American quarterback Michael Pratt of Tulane (7), All-American quarterback Joe Milton III of Tennessee (7) and All-American quarterback Spencer Rattler (7) of South Carolina throw souvenirs as Senior Bowl football players participate in the Carnival parade. . on Friday in downtown Mobile. Mandatory credit: Vasha Hunt-USA TODAY Sports.The 2024 Senior Bowl was held on Sunday and is typically considered a showcase for the nation’s top NFL draft picks. Unfortunately, former Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Joe Milton III had a rough day. Pro Football Focus covered the issue on social media and felt the wrath of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders over it.Milton is widely regarded as the quarterback with the truest arm skills in the upcoming draft. But during his college career,
he was largely viewed as an unpolished player who may be more of an athlete than a true quarterback at this point..The Tennessee product has had his share of struggles in the game. He threw two interceptions in the 16-7 loss of the American team to the national team.Pro Football Focus College’s social media account tagged one of Milton’s interceptions on Twitter/X, dubbing the play “The Joe Milton Experience.”.Milton had positive moments in the game that PFF didn’t mention, completing 9-of-13 passes on the day. Unfortunately, expensive turnovers seemed to reign around his performance..Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders,
who turned down the 2024 NFL Draft to return to college next season, questioned Pro Football Focus’ headline in a tweet on social media in response.”I thought PFF College should showcase college athletes, not let them down,” Sanders tweeted..Could Pro Football Focus have used another headline that didn’t hit Milton as hard? Yes, absolutely. But at the same time, it’s certainly fair to release an obscure player during a game largely used to identify talent in the NFL draft class.Is to be seen if this Milton video will have any effect on his April push. But when it comes to Sanders, Pro Football Focus isn’t remaint doing Milton any favors.[Shedeur Sanders
