Rookie Tyler Shough aiming for history by winning Saints QB competition
Our Summary
Tyler Shough aims to make Saints history as the potential Week 1 rookie starter, a feat not achieved since Archie Manning in 1971. Shough, a 26-year-old second-round pick, competes with Haener and Rattler for the QB spot left by Derek Carr. Despite limited playing time, Shough's experience and draft status make him a strong contender. The Saints have struggled with rookie QB success, with Rattler holding the longest active winless streak as a rookie starter. Shough's opportunity to start could mark a significant milestone for the franchise.
