Tyler Shough sends powerful message to Saints' fans
God’s timing. If it was easy, everyone would do it. New Orleans you will get everything out of me. I will die on that field for y’all. ⚜️ WHO DAT — Shough via IG
Shough dealt with multiple season-ending injuries during his college career. It is well documented that that he is an older quarterback prospect than most of his counterparts when it comes to a rookie class. No matter what – you cannot underestimate his leadership and determination to continue his career.
New Saints cornerback Quincy Riley is a former teammate of Shough, too. He bragged on the QB as well because of his intangibles.
"Things I’ve seen in practice and off the field… Immediate leadership impact in the meeting room… He’s got swag… Unbelievable guy…" — Riley via Mike Triplett
Despite being the oldest player expected to be drafted in the 2025 NFL Draft class, Tyler Shough only has one season with more than seven starts in it. Injuries and uneven play throughout his career even when he did manage to stay on the field led him to bounce around from Oregon to Texas Tech to Louisville. He played his best under center with the Cardinals this past season putting up around 3200 passing yards and 23 touchdowns in 12 games. The former four star prospect has good enough athleticism and a strong arm to help him overcome other red flags (age and health) if an NFL team gives him a shot.
