Shough's 103 QBI (15th overall) tops rookie class; prefers structure over chaos.

Tyler Shough is the highest-graded rookie QB from the 2025 class with a QBI score of 103, ranking 15th overall in the NFL. His score exceeds Jaxson Dart's 100 (21st) due to fewer negative plays; Shough demonstrates more consistent down-to-down efficiency and willingness to play within offensive structure, whereas Dart is more volatile and prone to creating chaos. Offensive coaches and executives prefer Shough over Dart, though defensive coaches respect Dart more. Shough's structured approach and efficiency-focused play style translate to a higher QBI grade.
