One of the top rising quarterback prospects through the NFL draft process has been Louisville's Tyler Shough. Though the 25-year-old quarterback is older than the typical draft prospect, his stock has risen from a late-round pick to a potential Day 2 player over the months leading up to the draft.
Shough's journey to the NFL has taken an interesting arc. He began his career at Oregon as the backup to Justin Herbert before transferring to Texas Tech and then Louisville for his final collegiate season. Shough started an entire season for the first time in 2024, and threw for 3,195 yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions.
