Former Tennessee Vols quarterback Joe Milton wants everyone to know his proper nickname. 

Milton, a third round selection by the New England Patriots in the 2024 NFL Draft, took to Instagram this week to point out that his nickname isn't "Bazooka Joe", noting that it's actually "Rocket". 

"Let's clear the air, it's not Bazooka Joe, it's Rocket," wrote Milton.

That's not a surprise considering the massive rocket chain that Milton has been spotted wearing at times.
