The Tennessee Volunteers were represented at the quarterback position on Sunday, as one of their former starting quarterbacks had the opportunity to start for the Philadelphia Eagles.

That quarterback being Joe Milton III , who spent three seasons with the Vols.

In college, Milton III played for the Michigan Wolverines prior to transferring to the Tennessee Volunteers. He started his Tennessee career as a starter before getting hurt, which resulted in Hendon Hooker taking over for the majority of the next two seasons. Finally, Milton III got his chance to be the starter, and he led the Vols to the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl before opting out for the NFL.

He would later be added to the New England Patriots, traded to the Cowboys, and signed by the Eagles , which was the most recent move he made in his career.
