The New Orleans Saints have made a significant move in the 2025 draft by selecting quarterback Tyler Shough from Louisville with their second-round pick. At 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, Shough possesses the physical traits that NFL teams covet, including a strong arm and impressive speed. His collegiate career saw him throw for over 3,195 yards and 23 touchdowns in a standout season, despite previous injury setbacks.

Shough’s arrival comes at a pivotal moment for the Saints, who are under the guidance of first-year head coach Kellen Moore. Moore has a reputation for developing successful quarterbacks and sees Shough as a potential franchise player. The competition for the starting role will be fierce, as Shough goes up against veteran Derek Carr and second-year quarterback Spencer Rattler, making for an intriguing training camp ahead.
