It’s just an opportunity. I feel like everywhere you go, no matter what quarterback got selected in this draft, no matter where you go, you’re going to have to compete,” he said. “Nothing is just given to you, no matter who you are. So, no matter where you go, you’re just going to have to compete, so that is what I am looking forward to doing.”
Another possible avenue onto the roster that has been brought up is for Milton to add another position to his toolkit. At 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds, Milton has the prototypical build of a tight end, and some chatter arose after his pick regarding whether moving there could be in his best interest to garner a roster spot if he doesn’t make the QB depth chart.
There’s precedent for players transitioning into new positions from college to the pros, with players such as Taysom Hill playing largely at tight end after starting as a QB. And just last year in New England, 2023 undrafted free agent Malik Cunningham attempted to earn playing time by moving to wide receiver.
But when asked whether the Patriots had mentioned a position change during pre-draft conversations, Milton denied it had been brought up, and went even further, saying he would not consider a move to tight end.
