Tyler Shough, the New Orleans Saints' rookie quarterback, is suddenly in contention for the starting job after Derek Carr's unexpected retirement. Drafted in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Shough expressed his excitement about the opportunity to lead the offense. Although he entered the league as a rookie, his age (26) and prior college experience bring maturity to his game. Determined to seize the moment, Shough believes in his capacity to compete at a high level, underscoring the importance of learning from veteran players like Carr.
