The NFL combine is a great place for up-and-coming athletes to show off their skills and get picked up by NFL franchises struggling for form, which could kill for some fresh blood in their ranks. These franchises look to introduce the youngsters to their setup and hone their talent to become the best in the business.
As it turns out, it is also a place for some athletes who have been sleeping on for a number of years to prove their mettle and show the world what they are made of finally. And in the case of former Tennessee Volunteer Joe Milton III, that is exactly the case.
