Tyler Shough aims for breakout season with the Saints in 2026

Tyler Shough, the former Texas Longhorns quarterback who signed with the New Orleans Saints, will take over as the starter for the 2026 season. Last year he amassed 3,200 passing yards and 20 touchdowns, showcasing his dual‑threat capability.

The coaching staff plans to weave his running and passing skills into the offensive scheme. Opposing defenses will now have to prepare for Shough's versatile attack.
