Tyler Shough (QB, Saints) confirmed his takeover in November. According to ESPNNew Orleans announced that Shough would be the starting quarterback for the 2026 season. It must be said that the rookie produced some rather interesting things and progress from one week to the next. After taking the place of Spencer Rattler (QB)Shough has a record of 5 wins for 4 losses, including 4 consecutive wins before a defeat in the last match.
The 2025 second round pick has stats of 2,384 yards at 67%, 10 touchdowns, 6 interceptions and 3 rushing touchdowns in 9 games. Very honorable figures given the offensive squad around him. His coach Kellen Moore is in any case won over.
“Tyler has done a great job from the start,” he confided. » He has improved enormously. He took advantage of many opportunities. It’s exciting to have a full season to build on. »
After a sluggish start to the season, Saints fans can have hope. At the end of the season, the Moore-Shough duo looked promising. If the quarterback is already “old” (he is 26), his floor and his room for improvement seem sufficient to give it a try. With its 8th choice in the 2026 draft, New Orleans will perhaps move towards a receiver to help its pitcher.
