Everything with Milton starts with the arm talent. He has a quick, powerful throwing motion in which the ball jumps off his hand. Milton throws with blistering velocity and the kind of downfield range that can threaten defenses goal line to goal line. All of his best throws are down the field. In theory, every piece of grass must be defended against Milton.
Milton is a good athlete as well. He is explosive and agile for his size, but wins more as a strider in space. He is a dangerous mover when he leaves the pocket and commits to being a runner.
Milton shows admirable toughness in the pocket, too. He isn’t afraid of the pocket closing on him, and he’s shown flashes of impressive pocket movement with his eyes up
However, Milton is a sort of robotic thrower. He struggles to adjust and find throwing platforms consistently beyond his first read, though there are sparse flashes of him doing so.
Milton is also largely inaccurate, especially in the underneath area. The closer a throw is to the line of scrimmage, the more Milton’s intense velocity and lack of touch is a burden rather than a gift.
Moreover, Milton comes from a Tennessee offense that asked very little from him as a processor. A good chunk of the offense was built on screens, RPOs and simplified vertical reads. Milton requires a ton of projection as an NFL-level processor and decision-maker.
Milton is too talented to not take a chance on. His arm talent is otherworldly, and his pocket toughness is a good cornerstone trait. With that said, being a 24-year-old developmental player with spotty accuracy suggests Milton faces a long and winding road before he becomes a serious starting quarterback in the NFL.
