Tyler Shough, the New Orleans Saints’ newly drafted quarterback, believes his age will not hinder his performance, aiming for a lengthy career. Drafted 40th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, he turns 26 in September and has seven years of college experience, finishing with strong stats at Louisville. The Saints selected Shough amid uncertainty regarding Derek Carr’s future due to a shoulder injury, marking Shough as the first quarterback chosen by the team in the opening two rounds since 1971, as they seek to strengthen their quarterback depth.
