At the Dallas Cowboys‘ recent open-to-media OTA session at The Star, the biggest takeaway wasn’t a breakout performance from a newcomer, but the sight of a healthy Dak Prescott confidently running the first team.
While backup quarterbacks Will Grier and Joe Milton – acquired in a trade from the New England Patriots – also took reps, reports describing Milton’s performance as “wild” seem overstated.
Jaxson Dart wins viral QB battle against Cam Ward
Currently, Milton is firmly positioned as the Cowboys’ third-string quarterback. Although the team hopes he can eventually push for more, developing consistency at the NFL level remains a long process for the former Tennessee Volunteer.
Standing 6-foot-6 with a cannon-like arm capable of launching passes up to 85 yards, Milton’s physical tools attracted attention from the start. However, as NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein noted, his impressive arm strength has often been hampered by inconsistent timing, accuracy, and touch. While Milton can escape pressure and produce highlight-reel plays, sustained consistency has eluded him so far.
Strong Chance Browns Start 0-5 This Season
Watching Milton at practice this offseason, those evaluations largely hold. His deep throws included some overthrows, and defenders disrupted several attempts. But none of it qualifies as “wild” – instead, it’s the typical work of a young QB adjusting to the NFL’s demands.
Brian Schottenheimer has faith in his young players
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer remains encouraged.
“I was excited about Joe before we got him,” he said. “When making trades, you consult trusted sources who have worked with the player in college or elsewhere.”
Schottenheimer also pushed back on negative reports from New England labeling Milton a difficult personality, praising instead his dedication.
“He’s one of the first in and last out of the building. His work ethic is incredible, and he’s been quick to absorb the playbook. Watching Dak and Will take on mentorship roles with him has been great.”
Milton’s final college year showcased potential: 2,813 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and only five interceptions, plus mobility that adds another dimension to his game. That promise remains intact.
Still, Milton isn’t a star in Dallas, nor is he close to challenging Prescott for the starting job. His progress isn’t a sudden revelation but steady growth-typical for a young quarterback striving to meet the lofty expectations of the NFL.
In short, Joe Milton’s journey is about patience and perseverance, as he works to carve out his role with the Cowboys.

V belgickém dresu dosáhl takřka všeho, chybí mu poslední cíl. Jsem v nejlepší formě kariéry, věří Evenepoel
V časovce zkrátka nemá konkurenci. Souboj s chronometrem opanoval třikrát na MS, na olympiádě v Paříži, na všech třech Grand Tour a nyní i na kontinentálním šampionátu. V jeden rok tak drží časovkářské dresy ze všech čtyř akcí včetně domácího mistrovství. „Je to splněný sen, ani mi to nedochází. Všechno vyšlo perfektně. Cítil jsem se skvěle,“ liboval si 25letý Evenepoel.Hned po mistrovství světa ho čekal velice náročný přesun z Afriky do Francie. „Věděl jsem, že tento týden musím být co nejprofesionálnější, což se podařilo. Soustředil jsem se na odpočinek a dobrý spánek. Už v pondělí jsem se cítil svěží a ani na vteřinu mě nenapadlo, že bych do časovky nenastoupil,“ svěřil se.Ve středu předvedl suverénní výkon a druhého Itala Filippa Gannu porazil o 43 sekund. „Nikdy si nezvyknu vyhrávat, každé vítězství má zvláštní chuť.
