Saints QB Tyler Shough’s mindset after NFL Draft selection

The New Orleans Saints made an eye-opening selection of Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough with the No. 40 overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and the new quarterback opened up on his approach as he joins the organization.

“The benefit of, you know, my career is that I’ve seen a lot of the stuff that can go on and I’m ready for it, and my job is to be ready and make the team better any way I can,” Tyler Shough said, via SiriusXM. “I don’t know about the specifics of the situation, but I’m fired up to get in the room with those guys and just learn and grow and do everything I can to get better myself and yeah, my job is to get ready and just bust my butt and I can’t wait for it. Just because I’ve only really good things about them, and I know like you said, this whole journey has only made me mentally razor-focused and ready to go, so I feel like I am ready to go at any moment’s time, but I know I have a lot to learn and grow and get better at.”
