The Saints selected Shough with their second round selection (No. 40 in general) outside Louisville in April. It became the highest field marshal since Archie Manning was taken No. 2 in general in 1971.
Shough, 25, completed 36 of 54 passes for 333 yards with a touchdown and an interception in three preseason games. He also ran for a TouchDown in three haules for 23 yards.
Shough played seven years of university football. He spent his first three seasons in Oregon before transferring Texas Tech for three years. He finished his career in Louisville, where he completed 62.7% of his passes for 3,195 yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Shough took care of numerous injuries throughout his career, playing more than eight games in a season only once, last year in Louisville.
The Saints were 5-12 last season, and Moore hopes that Rattler can take them back to the playoffs for the first time since 2021.
