How the Saints' offense could change with QB Tyler Shough

Tyler Shough, a fifth-round pick from Louisville, is projected as a solid pocket passer with strong arm strength and accuracy but faces challenges due to average speed around contact and limited footspeed. Despite these drawbacks, his ability to process information quickly allows him to evade sacks effectively in the NFL. The Saints’ offense will likely rely on Shough’s skills within their run-heavy, "five into" system, which aims to minimize one-on-ones against his size while maximizing his play-action potential. However, his ability to adapt to NFL pressures and the team’s reliance on a developing QB without elite receivers or running backs will be crucial to his success.
