NEW ORLEANS —

After Derek Carr announced his retirement Saturday, the same question crossed every New Orleans Saints fan’s mind: Who will start at quarterback?

More on Tyler Shough:

The Saints snagged Louisville’s Tyler Shough with the highest pick the franchise has used on a quarterback since taking Archie Manning second overall in 1971.

New Orleans took the 6-foot-5, 219-pound Shough with the eighth pick in Friday night’s second round, 40th overall.

“My goal is to come in there and compete and do everything I can to make the team better,” Shough said. “I’m just fired up for the opportunity.”

The selection comes two days after Saints general manager Mickey Loomis confirmed that Carr has some sort of shoulder ailment about which the club is seeking “clarity.”

If Carr is not with the club by training camp, Shough might wind up competing for a starting job against 2024 fifth-round draft choice Spencer Rattler and 2023 fourth-rounder Jake Haener — both of whom struggled and went winless while Carr was sidelined for seven games last season because of oblique and hand injuries.

Shough was pleased his NFL career would begin under the tutelage of first-year Saints coach Kellen Moore, a former college QB at Boise State and a former offensive coordinator with Dallas, the Los Angeles Chargers, and Super Bowl champion Philadelphia last season.
