The New Orleans Saints have one of the more intriguing rookies in the National Football League right now. New Orleans selected Kelvin Banks Jr. with the No. 9 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but he hasn't been the guy who has been talked about the most.

With veteran quarterback Derek Carr retiring due to a shoulder injury, the door of opportunity has swung wide open for the well-traveled, 26-year-old rookie from Louisville.

Shough was rated as the No. 113 overall player and the No. 7 quarterback in the draft class by Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department. The Saints were much higher on Shough as they made him the third quarterback off the board at No. 40 overall.
