Joe Milton III Contrasts Neyland With the Rest of SEC

Former Tennessee Volunteers quarterback appeared on the "Talking Giants" podcast and discussed the toughest stadium he's played in.

Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton III appeared on the "Talking Giants" podcast and discussed the toughest stadium he played in over the course of his college career. Though Milton went through the gauntlet of an SEC schedule, he pointed to a Big Ten stadium as the toughest he's played in, mainly because of the consistent environment he played in during his time at the University of Tennessee.

"The loudest and most intimidating stadium is Penn State. I don't feel like [any] stadium in the SEC is intimidating because our stadium is pretty loud and can get rowdy, too." - Joe Milton III on the toughest stadium he's played in

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.

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 ahead of the draft in April.
