College football fans are going crazy over a recent video of Tennessee QB Joe Milton. While attending the Manning Camp over the weekend, the passer showed off his arm with an insane 80-yard bomb.
Lining up near his own 25-yard line, he casually launched the pigskin to the other end of the field, connecting with a wide receiver in the back of the endzone. Many online are now reacting to the viral clip.
Milton’s ridiculous arm strength has been a talking point across his college career. Unfortunately, viewers haven’t seen it on full display as he’s landed mainly in a reserve role.
Originally a Michigan signee, the passer completed just 56.6 percent of his attempts, throwing for just under 1,200 yards across three seasons. Since transferring to Knoxville, he’s backed up NFL Draft pick Hendon Hooker.
But in 2023, the sixth-year player will get the keys to the offense.
Fans got a glimpse of what to expect during his showing at the Manning Camp, at least on the deep ball.

Viewers are now reacting to the throw on social media.
“Absolutely nuts!” one fan wrote while another said, “That’s insane! He has a rocket arm.”
This follower confused him for another SEC talent that recently went No. 4 in the draft, saying, “I thought that was Anthony Richardson for a minute.”
Here’s another view of the impressive heave.

The arm strength was on full display this weekend, which has to make Tennessee fans feel good following the departure of Hendon Hooker. We’ll see if he can keep the momentum rolling into the season and pick up where he left off at the end of 2022.
Joe Milton led the Vols to a pair of victories over Vanderbilt and Clemson in his only two starts after Hooker went down with an injury.
