Thanks to Joe and the rest of the VOL seniors for providing hours of entertainment this year. Best of luck with the NFL draft

[@TG-dc1rs]

We all wish the best for Joe in the NFL! It's NICO TIME!

[@michaelphillips91]

Thank you Joe, good luck in the NFL. GBO GO!

[@morrisdavis9231]

Hey Joe, I have been one of your biggest critics, but I know you are a good person and team mate I thank you for that and best luck in the NFL

[@mikeflippo6273]

Joe Milton- a great ambassador for UT!!! Good luck to him!!!

[@jkl8577]

With nothing but good luck to Joe in the NFL draft. He is a class act. I think that the way Joe is handling himself and his leadership will be the good attributes off the field that many NFL teams will appreciate. Thanks Joe for being a good example of what a VFL is.

[@BVDTheBigVOLdaddy]

This is what we've all waited for....LETS GO!!!!

[@stevenchapman365]

Im willing to bet now you wish he had more snaps during the season

[@billycain9890]

I'm glad Joe Milton's gon talk about inconsistent low throws high throws don't care about how strong his arm is he's not accurate.

[@jamiegunter7016]

Lmao if tennessee wins this game against a overrated terrible Iowa team the college football community will have to hear it the rest of the year how tennessee is back until the 2024 season starts and reality sits in that they are not back

[@jeffpuckett7481]

I get tired of hearing Joe is a VFL and has stuck it out . That don’t matter , he is a terrible player and truly , I don’t think he comprehends the play calling .

[@themontgomeryc]

youre right but not his fault hes been put out there. of course hes gonna take the opportunity. no reason for you to actually harbor ill will on a young man just because hes not good at a game (hes better than we will ever be regardless).

[@davidcardwell7859]

@@themontgomerycI wish him the best , unfortunately his best wasn’t good enough at Tennessee. I’d never wish anyone ill will, it’s just time for him to move on . Nobody owes him anything .

[@chasec8381]

Thank god Joe is gone. He was loyal but if u say he didn’t fall short of expectations than u must have not heard the hype he had coming in . He is middle of the road at best

[@jacklyons6640]

I bet you could have done better.

[@modernprofessionals9512]

Amen! 2023 was the most dreadful season for Tenn fans because of this incompetent, below average QB.

[@chasec8381]

@@jacklyons6640 is that what I said muppet??

[@travisbishop2428]

Milton has been a great teammate and his stats aren’t too bad so you guys get off his back he is a VFL!

[@TaylaWhala]

@@jacklyons6640he’s not a college qb. I have never seen so many fans dick ride a qb like people have Milton. He fucking sucks get over it
