The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Tyler Shough, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Tyler Shough’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Tyler Shough is a seventh-year senior. He’ll turn 26 years old in September of his rookie season. And yet, he’s receiving some Day 2 buzz in the 2025 NFL Draft class. You can attribute that to the 2025 group being weaker overall, but Shough’s profile has merit. Injuries prevented Shough from starting a full season before 2024.
When he finally got the chance to settle in and find a rhythm, the results were encouraging. At Louisville, he racked up 3,195 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just six interceptions. Accuracy, precision, and mechanical quickness are still issues for Shough, but he’s a 93rd-percentile athlete at the QB position.
He can hit the ground running as a quality backup passer, thanks to arm talent, progression prowess, and a gunslinger mentality, and he has the physical talent and competitiveness to earn a run as an NFL starter.
Tyler Shough’s NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Shough landed in Round 5 with the 162nd overall pick.
And in CSN’s recent 2025 NFL Mock Draft for Day 2, Bjorn Bergstrom had this to say about Shough’s selection to the New Orleans Saints in Round 3 with the 71st pick:
With starting QB Derek Carr dealing with shoulder issues that cloud his status for the 2025-26 season, the Saints pick Shough here and try their luck once again at hitting with a long-term passer.
Though New Orleans is said to believe in 2024 fifth-rounder Spencer Rattler, Shough, at 25 years old, would bring a different maturity to the group and could produce on the field quicker than most rookies.
