    Drew Brees, former quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, had nothing but positive things to say about newly drafted Tyler Shough. In a video released by the Saints’ social media account, Brees can be heard remarking that Shough has been through plenty of ‘adversity’ and this is something that makes him stand out from among his peers.

    Tyler Shough was selected as the 40th pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft by the New Orleans Saints. Before the draft, Shough played seven years of college football for the Oregon Ducks, the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Louisville Cardinals. In his senior year with Louisville, Shough managed to throw for a total of 3,195 yards, scoring 23 touchdowns, while managing six interceptions.

    “I’ve seen what the fans have seen. I haven’t really dove deep to take a look at his college film. I think what’s impressive to me is, the kid has faced a lot of adversity and he’s overcome it every step of the way. Obviously spent a lot of time in college. Three years at Oregon, three years at Tech and one year at Louisville. I love [Louisville coach] Jeff Brohm. Jeff Brohm was Purdue’s head coach for a long time. Developed Aidan O’Connell and a few others. So he’s kind of known as one of those guys who can develop QBs. And obviously, Tyler Shough really thrived in that offense with him last year.” Drew Brees said to reporters about Tyler Shough in a video shared by the New Orleans Saints.

    Tyler Shough is the only quarterback that the New Orleans Saints picked in the draft. Apart from Shough, the Saints also brought in offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr., defensive tackle Vernon Broughton and linebacker Danny Stutsman among others.

    Drew Brees Hails Kellen Moore As “Great” For The New Orleans Saints

    The upcoming NFL season will be Kellen Moore’s first year with the New Orleans Saints and his first gig as head coach. In the previous NFL season, Moore was an offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, who eventually went on to lift the Super Bowl trophy. Moore also played in the NFL for the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys from 2012 to 2017.
