OROTY?: New Orleans Saints’ Tyler Shough LEAPS To Offensive Rookie of the Year FAVORITE Status

Tyler Shough can become the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year. The New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback is rising fast, shattering franchise rookie passing records and surging up the odds boards after a commanding win over the New York Jets.

His quick decision-making against man coverage and explosive chemistry with Chris Olave have put him ahead of every other rookie quarterback—and just behind Carolina’s Tetairoa McMillan for the award.

The defense, led by DC Brandon Staley, has also ignited, ranking top five in key categories since Week 10 and posting season-high sack numbers thanks to Chase Young and Alontae Taylor. Jonas Sanker’s preparation and execution highlight a unit on the verge of breaking 40 sacks for the first time since 2022.

  2. Staley allows KM to not even worry about the Defense.😊💪⚜️ You guys would be really Cool, Hip, Happnin', on 🔥, if, you had a pair of Hey Dudes, for every day of the week.😮😅😂 With 2 pair on reserve, that pop, and crack with any of your Church Clothes….🧐🤓💪😭😎

  7. Hey Ross, I know it may be too early, but how would you grade this year's draft class now? I know you may save this for a later episode, but just figured I'd ask sooner rather than later. Like Brandin Cooks once said, "closed mouths don't get fed." 😂😂😂

  8. Excellent vid Ross as always brother. This past draft was spectacular. Think about how our off-season started. You will remember before I do but iirc Coach Moore was not even here when we started truly scouting for the draft. This is amazing and so,thing that was lost in the disappointment of the 1st half of the season. Merry Christmas to you and your family Ross. Who Dat! Liked and hyped ya.

  12. Am not trying to sound like a party pooper . But these are against bad teams… He beat Carolina 2 twice who stinks . He beat Tampa and they have lost like 7 outa last 8? He has beat nobody worth getting excited bout… I get it . Am excited to . But untill we beat actual real gd teams. Can we pump the brakes… The jets are terrible… The titans beat the chiefs with there 3rd string QB and half of there wr were not playing. I know we all want to be excited.. but beating bad teams is nothing to get excited over… IDK just my opinion

  13. I was never down on Tyler. I didn't wanna throw him in the fire straight outta the gates. I also felt it was important that Spencer was shown respect– and to see what we have. I think we were all thinking: if Spencer didn't start winning games, then sometime around the bye week, we need to see what we have in Tyler. At the beginning of November, I was still thinking that we should prolly draft a QB #1. And now?? WOW. Ok my eyes are NOT lying to me. Tyler is a winner. He wins games. He can carry a team. Now the only debate I have for Christmas Dinner with my two sons is: Pass catcher or RB… I always go running back, so they got me 2 to 1. lol But I aint worried about our QB situation anymore. AND BIG TIME GLAD Tyler slides when it's time to slide. like "Uh Don't stick your head first into a defender." As far as Spencer is concerned. We need to pay him like the top 5 of the second-team QBs in the league. We now have two viable NFL starting-caliber QBs. That's gold. Don't mess that up.

  14. My oldest wants Eli Stowers, the youngest, Carnell Tate. Except he thinks we can trade back a few picks, still get Tate, and pick up an additional 3rd and 4th round pick. Of course, this all changes if we win out this season. If we win out, the Best Available Player might be my choice: Jeremiyah Love… we need to give our QB some weapons, that's for sure.

    Love

  17. OROY "favorite status," eh? Not on any major sportsbook, not even close. Look at Vegas Insider to see
    These clickbaity titles are getting old. Simply not accurate. It's nice to see NOS with some success on a very easy stretch schedule, but let's be real?

    2025 draft class is a steaming pile, worst in recent memory – especially for offensive guys, but it'll definitely be Tet McMillan or Egbuka with over 1000yds as NFL OROY (probably whatever team wins divi).
    There are no good QBs, knew that before draft…. nobody's giving it to a Saints QB who plays a half year on a last place team, bottom 5 offense, and only does about one TD per game. Nope.
    The DROY is Schweisinger, and that's been basically decided since at least midseason now. Also pretty weak winner compared to most recent winners. It was not a loaded draft by any means.
    …Jeanty and Omarion Hampton or Egbuka probably still have decent long term potential, but they were hurt or on terrible teams 2025. The 2025 QBs will be nothing… unless maybe Jaxon can stop hitting his dome.
