NFL Draft Pick Tyler Shough's Mental Approach Post-Selection
Rewritten Article:
Your new QB for the New Orleans Saints, Tyler Shough from Louisville, is hyped! Landing him with the No. 40 pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft looks like a smart move. And Tyler's got some fire in his belly, ready to prove his worth with the team.
"I've weathered the storm," Tyler said, via SiriusXM. "I've seen a lot of crap and I'm cool for it. I just gotta get in there, learn from the vets, grow and make this team better. I don't give a damn about the negatives, I'm focused on the positives and I'm chomping at the bit to get started."
Derek Carr's future with the Saints, due to injury uncertainties, could pave the way for Shough. Despite his injury history and hitting the ripe age of 25, the Saints took a gamble, looking for a long-term solution at QB.
Tyler's college career was a rollercoaster ride. Starting at the University of Oregon in 2018, he then bounced around to Texas Tech for three years before landing at Louisville in 2023. His time at Oregon saw him complete 63.4% of his passes for 1,559 yards and 13 touchdowns. At Texas Tech, injuries struck again and again, doing their best to sideline the resilient quarterback.
In 2021, Shough suffered a broken left collarbone, followed by another injury in 2022 that forced him to sit out six games. The punishing brutality wrapped up with a broken left fibula in 2023, ending his season after four games. But when he was healthy, boy, Shough was good. In 2023, he led the Cardinals to a remarkable 8-4 regular season, finishing 14th in FBS in total yards with 3,195 and tied for 22nd in passing touchdowns with 23.
Now, as he steps into the big leagues with the Saints, his durability and arm talent will be put to the test. With competition for the starting role in the 2025 season, Shough's college experience and proven resilience make him a monstrous contender. Let's see if he can rise to the challenge!
