FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:
1. Milton intel: The Patriots' executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf said on "The Adam Schefter Podcast" that University of Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton III had "too much talent" to pass over him in the sixth round of the NFL draft (No. 193), even though the Patriots had already selected North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye at No. 3.
Few had a closer behind-the-scenes view of Milton's talent than Joey Halzle, who enters his fourth season on the Tennessee coaching staff -- first as the quarterbacks coach (2021-2022) and then offensive coordinator (2023-present).
