New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough has been the subject of nearly constant mockery online since he was picked 40th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, and the criticism has not abated ever since Spence Rattler reportedly leapfrogged him on Kellen Moore's initial depth chart.
Even with all of those negatives weighing heavily on his stock, Shough managed to put together a solid showing in his initial preseason action against the Los Angeles Chargers. While Shough did throw a bad interception, he was 15-22 passing for 165 yards while connecting on a beautiful 54-yard score to Mason Tipton.
