Former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray recently dropped a surprising opinion on SiriusXM college football radio.

Murray named Tennessee’s Joe Milton the “most talented, most gifted” quarterback in America. Milton is not the “best” overall quarterback, per Murray, but his physical gifts can not be denied.

“We’ll see if it translates now into All-American status,” Murray said.

“Need all my homies to know- Joe Milton SZN is officially back on,” said a Michigan fan who saw Milton play for the Wolverines.

“Did Caleb Williams quit football?” a Georgia fan asked.

“There’s literally a returning Heisman winner that will probably be 1st overall pick next year,” said another person in reference to Williams.

“Joe Milton has lost the starting job three times in his career,” a fourth fan noted.

“I mean in the SEC I could see the argument. But I am not taking him over Williams or Drake Maye,” said another Georgia fan.

Milton, 23, spent his first three collegiate seasons at Michigan before transferring to Tennessee, where he backed up Hendon Hooker for most of the 2021 and 2022 campaigns.

Milton has thrown for 1,346 yards, 12 touchdowns and no interceptions as a member of the Vols.
