In the high-stakes world of professional sports, long-term planning and investing in young talent are key to sustained success. And in the realm of American football, one position stands out for its importance: the quarterback.

The New England Patriots may have found a diamond in the rough in Joe Milton III. The young quarterback has shown immense potential since being drafted in the sixth round last year, but he's unlikely to reach his ceiling with the organization that selected him.

In his one start for the Patriots, Milton was 22 of 29 for 241 yards, running for a touchdown and throwing for another in a 23-16 win over the Bills.
