New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough spoke with reporters in the locker room following minicamp practice recently, expressing his belief that the work put in throughout the offseason is already paying dividends.<\/p>\n
Shough said he has made noticeable strides physically and mentally since the conclusion of his rookie season. He revealed that he is entering training camp in arguably the best shape of his career.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been amazing. I\u2019ve been able to put on six pounds of muscle, been able to drop my body fat. You\u2019re getting the whole offseason underneath your belt, and I just feel comfortable. Obviously, there\u2019s new things every single day from an install perspective, but it\u2019s more review, and how can we kind of get on the same page with all these new guys? That\u2019s going to be the challenge going into training camp, is that sense of urgency with Olave, with Tyson, with Vele, with Polk, and all of our guys, and how can we just kind of take it to the next level,\u201d said Shough.<\/p>\n
One of the connections already taking shape is with first-round rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson. According to Shough, the two have spent plenty of time together away from the facility, helping build a relationship that could translate onto the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are hanging out every other day,\u201d Shough said. \u201cWe\u2019re hanging out watching movies, watching the NBA Finals, coming over having food together. He\u2019s such a great guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
While training camp will provide the first true test, Shough\u2019s comments suggest the groundwork is already being laid both on and off the field with one of his new weapons.<\/p>\n
With improved conditioning and growing chemistry with his teammates, Shough appears ready to take the next step heading into his sophomore season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough spoke with reporters in the locker room following minicamp practice recently, expressing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":926624,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2076],"tags":[7,896,55,85468,401,2588,2572,2571,6,397],"class_list":["post-926782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-orleans-saints","tag-football","tag-new-orleans","tag-new-orleans-saints","tag-new-orleans-saints-discussion","tag-new-orleans-saints-news","tag-new-orleans-saints-roster","tag-neworleans","tag-neworleanssaints","tag-nfl","tag-saints"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116800377549001701","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=926782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/926624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=926782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=926782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=926782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
