Louisville football and New Orleans Saints fans just learned that the former Louisville Cardinal and second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Tyler Shough, will not start, and returning quarterback Spencer Rattler will start for KKellen Moore.
Shough was selected No. 40 overall and as the Saints' second-round draft pick. The former Louisville star earned a fully guaranteed contract after an impressive summer training camp, but when it came to the three preseason games, Moore and his staff trusted Rattler just a tad more.
