Tyler Shough has been making some exciting plays in practice for the New Orleans Saints so far at OTAs. The clips circulating on social media have fans looking forward to seeing him hit the field for their favorite squad.
The NFLPA has been releasing some cool social media clips for different rookies. For New Orleans, their first-year quarterback got the nod for a close-up look.
Shough has been praised multiple times already for his demeanor and leadership already by the new staff for the Saints. He is making an impact before he ever touches the field in a game.
Head coach Kellen Moore doesn't see the QB situation in New Orleans similarly to how others do around the NFL world. He has faith in his young options between Shough and Rattler.
Kellen Moore spoke with the media prior to the Saints Hall of Fame golf tournament. He was asked about a young QB room and the drawbacks of not having a veteran QB — said he’s done that before and that they have several coaches around the QB room who had playing experience -- Katherine Terrell
