‘Sky’s the limit’ for Joe Milton as Cowboys backup QB flashes skills during Cowboys OTA practice

Fisco, Texas – for years, in Dallas Cowboys opted to a stable, veteran game manager to back quarterback after Dak Prescott in Cooper Rush.

That worked for many years, and rush found plenty of success in his spot starts filling in for Prescott When Dallas’ defense was a takeaway machine in the early 2020s, winning five of his sixteenth and 2022. However, when you are not being aided by an air-tight Defense, that did not work as well. Dallas went 4-4 in the rush eight starts 2024 with a lack of downfield crossing the game: 6.9 Averaged passes through the last time, 29th of 36 qualiformed in 2024.

It is not a plan after the Prescott. Now, Dallas has a rocket-armed young man after the second-year quarterback Joe Milton, following the offseason of the new England goods in which the cowboys were sent by Milton and 2022, the draft in the draft of the draft of choice. He was sixth, in the 2024 (193rd overall), falling late despite the high-level athletes tools after playing the offense with Tennessee volunteers will not ask a lot of its quarterbacks. After spending its rookie year in the bench after 2024 Third Overall Pick Drake Mayo in New England, which was a week 18 against AFC East Champion buffalo. That’s where to migrate the arm talent that led to Dallas pulling trigger in trade to go to him.

Milton Powered in the goods to 23-16 victory on the bills that day by throwing for 241 yards and a touchdown in 22 29 passing in addition to 1-yerd to touchdown. This performance made him only good player with the 1970 AFL / NFL Merger with both passing touchdown and RUING Touchdown in her NFL Debut-based CBS sports research.

“I went on there and did what you play recently and the head coach wanted me to do and what it’s to win the game,” Milton said Thursday after Dallas’ second organized team activities practice open to media. “I don’t know what you would have happened. It was the last game at the moment. I was just going off happy. She went out with a win in the first game ever in NFL. That’s pretty much all I think, until two months later and boom, I’m here. After buffalo game, I like, it’s fun. I feel like I can keep this. I feel like it is more important to work it is out. I just had fun. It’s likely to be the best days of my life. “

His best story was far and a 48-yard touchdown crossing the wide receptor Kayson Boutte. The play involved in the order in which Milton rolled up to the right to escape the Buffalo’s pass on the rush before the lasered cross, the body throw Boutte, who lasered after Milton fall cleaned with the retrost to cover the target. Plays just as they have a new cowboy coach and offensive player Caller Brian Schotheimer “so excited” to develop Milton in Dallas’ quarterback room.

“It is excited about Joe. I was excited from Joe before we do it,” Schotheimer said on May 20 after Dallas’ first use outas. “When you go into these deals and you’re talking about making, we all reach out to people that you know, people that you trust, people that have been exposed to the player at College, different programs, friends that have been different opinions and there’s always an outlier good and bad. With each of them, you try to peel those away. But from the time he’s been here, the work ethic is incredible. He’s one of the first people in the building. He’s one of the last to the playbook and reading it is incredible. And it’s been on me to watch dak and willing [Grier]But really dak take a mentorship parts with Joe. “

Milton called to Dallas “a blessing” and I can learn from the Prescott “Great” to Cowboys’ Starter enters his 10th time to be NFL In 2035 starting quarterback. How raw or developmental is Milton? Schotheimer declined to be in special, but that made a mention adjusting the NFL Playbook in the area where 25 years is playing catch up.

“I think all are [developmental]”Schotheimer said about its quarterback room. “I think 600 in the development phase. The sounds crazy for a guy who played, and a lot. It’s just a talent, but it is a talent, but it has to learn and what is figured it’s all that it’s more likely to do anything else. The only defenses attack on this league makes it almost impossible to relax. “

Milton has a unique way to learn a new offense. Instead of using a typical dry-erase board, and utility a piece of tape and line scrimmage and poker football letters drawn on them to represent different skill, placed players. The mode of a quarterback trainer recommended. The girlfriend read plays from a script and Milton and call the story back to her before the football and lining them in the formation. It’s a routine that Milton will make a daily at the end of the mainstream minicamp in June 12 through the start of training camp at the end of July.

“There is a way of” Milton said about Cowboys, Playbook and language. “This offense is to reduce more to my college days. My last offense was more than all getting tagged in the trips. This is just to feel on the right hand.”

Ota performance is so far, in two exercises to open the media, have been mixed. I cast a couple interception of 11-on-11 team drills in May 20. On Thursday, which was locked in with the second-team offense, in highlight not a connection with voluntary and cuburnae cowboys teammate Princeton fant and run. The tight end could take a throw over half a Milton at home. Milton’s Best story of otas so far is not seen a media but detailed by Schotheimer on Thursday. Milton pulled trigger in the New Cowboys wide receptor George Pickens’ Most exciting play in Dallas so far, a red zone touchdown to catch.

“It was a story and that really is not something that George did, but they were in the red zone and we are in the branch of spread formation and hit him to touchdown. Joe [Milton] He made a little bender a little skinny after he came down to the low red zone. Ceedee [Lamb] He was in the next “Schotheimer said Thursday.” When ceedee goes out, looked at the ball went out and saw George at the end of the zone of the race to pull the fingers. Ceedee was like ‘Yessss!’ I think of its excitement to know that we’ve added some fragments that add to the competition. Cool to see the guy like ceedee. “

Plays just are why and cowboys feel like there’s a plentiful potential to Dallas’ undergraduate staff to dig in Milton.

“The talent talks for each other. You guys will see it today. He made some incredible yesterday,” Schotheimer said in May 20. “He’s just the exciting young perspectives that I think the sky is the limit.”
