Derrick Henry explains why he’s a believer in Tennessee QB Joe Milton

Derrick Henry is an Alabama Crimson Tide alum through and through, but he can recognize talent when he sees it.

And the Tennessee Titans RB sees it in Tennessee Volunteers QB Joe Milton III, who is slated to take over the QB1 role on Rocky Top after Hendon Hooker’s departure.

During a podcast appearance this week, Henry had praise for Milton, who is a big guy with a cannon for a right arm:

“He’s going back to Tennessee?” Henry asks. “Oh, he’s nice, bro. … He’s a big dude!”

Milton was a star in the Orange Bowl win over Clemson this postseason. Can he become a consistent star in 2023? The Vols’ season will depend on it. Fortunately, Henry sees a rising talent in Milton.

      • Doggie2021...

        Isn't it interesting that Georgia is still not among the elites of the SEC historical programs.

        1) Alabama
        2) Tennessee
        3) Auburn

        Ooops...

        • Dawgs2021 It's a shame UGA comes out this season, plays a simple cupcake schedule, lucks out against OSU and wins the lottery by playing a HS team for a natty. And UGA fans wonder why most fans wanted TCU to win! Wonder why TN still gets all the attention. And why UGA still gets no respect after winning their 3rd natty in school history. All of the above is why of course.. LOL When UGA plays, it looks like the Beverly Hillbillies with players from the 70's. lol It's not cool and diverse like TN's team is.. I mean there were more farmer tans in red uniforms than there are in the Big conferences.. LOL It was like watching a faster Ivy league team play, just with more accents.. LOL

        • vols fans get the same treatment any time they post on a georgia thread. so whats good for the goose is good for the gander

        • We are actually normal.

          We post on articles that are on the front page and so we comment on them...

          Meanwhile people like YOU make your fanbase hated by trolling for no reason.

        • And yet you are all over UGA threads posting your 9-3 Drivel. Now you want to take the high road lol. Don't you have a championship to claim? I hear GWhite's blog said the Vols are the best...that is banner worthy chump.

        • And yet i only do it to you AND Corch because you started trolling random people for no reason.

          So I simply started doing it back.

        • All is free game. I love going on the UGA threads and make them nuts by showing stats.. They despise them lol

      • Sorry bro, 1980 belongs to UGA. Keep trying to rub that off though. Perhaps donating for drivers training would benefit your program more.

          Lol...The Spice Girls

      • Moron u do understand before 2 years ago Georgia hadn't won squat in 40 years.. 40 years!!!! So shut up moron!!!

        • Dawgs2021 Oh, you think you'll catch TN in your lifetime in natties? LOL Sir, you won't even catch up to us for 2nd All time SEC wins..The college football world and fans have only taken you seriously since 17 and that's dating back to when you first fielded a team..lol. You were joked about for most of your existence.. and you will be again. And your coach will still be wearing sporting a viser and Friar Tuck due with fanny pack..lol Do you know how disturbing it is to see a grown southern man having this attire in public? It's sad sir..lol

        • Dawgs2021 Look what all it took for UGA to win two natties since 1980 and two in a row. Bama had to be less than, TN, UF had to be down too. Avoid Bama this year, go 1-1 against them last year. Beat them becuase they were missing starters. Play the easiest two schedule last year and this year in SEC history. Auburn had to be down, as well as LSU and one 3 year long P a n demic while teams were still recovering. OSU missed a FG and UGA got to play the biggest cupcake team in the history of national championships.. lol This is what you call the things of miracles. It's not like you play a hard schedule or even a average one and beat very good teams. TN was your biggest worry and you won by 14 at home. Which is still sad. But go Dawgs LOL. I see a good team, but I see them more as fortunate and lucky than I see them as elite.

      • Lol. You did all that research to troll? That’s a lot of dedication. That’s kinda creepy and weird.

        Before last year, how many years since the dawgs had been? 41 years? Was that Raging Bull and Blues Brothers?

        • Doggie 2021...

          Isn't it interesting that the music is by far worse today than 1998...

          You appear to be jealous...

          Lol!

          Go Vols!

        • We win in more sports than UGA ever will over the next 100 years.. lol We've won more in football than you will win over the next 100 years. It's just your time to be lucky dawgs..lol. NO one is ever going to see, "remember those UGA teams that won titles back to back?". "Yes, worst offense to win a natty, let alone back to back and with the weakest schedule" . I mean even Clemson had a top 10 offense, and passing scoring was excellent. Give yourself another 50 or 100 years and see we'll see where your at. Once the playoff start, your luck will run out and it will in Knoxville next season.. lol Baleee dat.

  • The only reason that people come on here to troll UT is because they have a miserable life and feed on conflict. Negativity consumes their soul.
