2025 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about TYLER SHOUGH:
Louisville | Hometown: Chandler, AZ | HT: 6051 | WT: 219 | 40 time: 4.63 | Hand: 0934 | Arm: 3118 | Wing: 7738
Five-year starter who redshirted in 2018 and had multiple seasons cut short due to injury, opening the door to seven seasons in college. Began his career at Oregon backing up Justin Herbert. Transferred to Texas Tech in 2021 and then Louisville in 2024. Shough started 32 games over that span. While the path has been anything but straight for the soon-to-be 26-year-old, Shough’s rise from adversity is noteworthy. On the field, he is a classic drop back passer with obvious size and arm talent. He can create out of structure and once in the Louisville scheme, we saw a different player. Improved across the board and gave legs to the notion there is untapped upside that his previous stops did not reach. Huge frame that handles contact well. Played with good awareness from the pocket against pressure in 2024. Sound decision maker. Excellent accuracy on the move with the ability to create on his own. Good enough athlete to buy more time. Has enough arm to make every throw. Can alter his release to sneak a ball into tight windows. Adept at throwing the ball to a spot with anticipation. Did not have enough success throwing the deep ball. Puts too much air under them, leaving too much time for defensive backs to make their way to the destination. Overall ball placement and accuracy is inconsistent. A lot of wide misses. Just one full season of quality tape over seven years in college. Comes with durability and age concerns. His injury history includes a broken collarbone, shoulder surgery, and a broken fibula. There are a few components of his game that do hold him back, but there is more than enough to project him to a quality backup tier with upside for more.
