Saints starting QB Tyler Shough leads the Black and Gold on and off the field

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Tyler Shough is no doubt the starting quarterback of the Saints, one of the leaders of the team, and he’s one of the best recruiters on the Black and Gold.

“I’ve talked with Shough four or five times this offseason. Pestering the hell out of me honestly about when I was signing back. Like I didn’t have any other avenues, it was crazy,” said Cam Jordan.

“We were texting all throughout the offseason. I don’t know who was pestering who. He was sending me stuff from his Derby Days, all the things he was doing. I can tell he wants to be here. He understands this is his home. He’s been such a great leader and influence for me, being from the same hometown. Who he is as a person, his impact on the community. I can’t be more happy to have him back. He just brings that element to this team you can’t explain,” said Tyler Shough.

And he’s also getting on the same wavelength with rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson.

“We’re hanging out every other day. He’s a young 21-year old. I remember being the same age a few years back. We’re hanging out, watching movies, we’re watching the NBA Finals. We’re coming over having food together. He’s such a great guy. Whether it’s getting Jugs, went through walk throughs. He’s jumped in, even these walk throughs. He hasn’t messed up a play, missed a beat, super smart,” said Shough.

This summer the quarterbacks and wide receivers will meet up in San Diego to hang with Drew Brees and get in some workouts.
