He won't be a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but there's little debate about former Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton III having the strongest arm of any quarterback in this year's class.

Milton had the opportunity to show off that arm strength during Saturday's on-field drills at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, and he didn't disappoint.

When it came time to throw deep routes to the wide receivers in attendance, Milton stepped up and launched the longest throws of the day, proving to be must-see TV for fans, media, and NFL scouts alike.

Here's the video evidence from Saturday's action:

Milton's combination of size, arm talent, and athleticism might make him the most intriguing quarterback prospect in this year's class. Look for him to come off the board sometime in the middle rounds, and don't be surprised if he develops into a steal should he land in the right situation.
