Tyler Shough Rising Fast | Detroit Lions News

Tyler Shough, the New Orleans Saints’ second-round QB pick, is heating up the NFL draft conversation—earning high praise from opposing coaches like Lions’ Kelvin Sheppard, who called him a “phenomenal prospect.” Despite skepticism over his age and injury history, scouts were even more impressed than the Saints themselves. Former Saints coach Sean Payton went so far as to call him the top QB in the 2025 class. Drafted at No. 40, he joins Cam Ward and Jaxson Dart as the third QB selected, while teams like the Lions passed on QBs entirely, focusing on defense. Shough’s rising stock isn’t a fluke—he’s been building buzz since last season, and now everyone’s watching. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
