Yahoo Sports NFL on Tyler Shough

Shough's rookie success (OROY runner-up) establishes him as long-term Saints QB solution.

Shough finished second in NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year voting despite starting just nine games, receiving five first-place votes; he proved he should be the quarterback in 2026 and could hold the job far beyond this season. The source notes he played as well as could be expected as a rookie, allowing New Orleans to not worry about the QB position this offseason, though he'll need to prove himself over a full season after facing just three top-half DVOA defenses in his nine starts (0-3 in those games, 5-1 against bad defenses).
