NFL Combine is set to start in upcoming days, and Louisville football star quarterback, Tyler Shough, is currently the main conversation on all media platforms.
Tyler Shough had an up and down collegiate career due to multiple injuries in his tenure. However, the 25-year old had one of the best performances in the Reese's Senior Bowl, and saw his draft stock sky rocket.
Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward seem like they will not plan to throw at the NFL Combine, but Tyler Shough plans to improve his draft stock even more and will 100% throw at the Combine. With the NFL Draft taking place in Green Bay, Wis. on Apr. 24-26, Tyler Shough seems to be a lock to be drafted in first few rounds, but just how high is his draft stock rising?
Louisville football QB Tyler Shough's draft stock update ahead of NFL Combine
Well, Matt Miller reported on NFL on ESPN the other day that Shough could be seen going not only on second day of the draft, but maybe even the first day after his Senior Bowl performance.
"That is the hottest name right now Kevin." Miller stated on NFL on ESPN. "Everyone was talking about him at the Senior Bowl, because of how well he played there."
Shough played in the Reese's Senior Bowl back on Feb. 1 and played for the National team. The 25-year olf senior threw 6-of-13 passing with a beautiful ball for a touchdown to Da'Quan Felton. This pass blew up on the internet and really put Shough's name on the map.
"Twenty-five years old, but he was injured all through out his college career. Stops at Texas Tech, he gets to Louisville, and you see it all come together, the arm strength is there, the mobility is there, 6-foot-5, 225 pounds, but he moves around well, looking to his left, his right, he has a strong arm, he can dial velocity."
Tyler Shough had an impressive season at Louisville, as he was seen throwing 3,196 yards, 23 touchdowns and just six interceptions. He is just the 13th quarterback in Cardinals history to throw 3,000 yards or more in a season.
So, where does Miller think Shough will go? Well, he stated he is almost a lock to go before round four, and is hearing "crazy talk about as high as the second round."
"So, I am hearing crazy talk about him maybe being a second-round pick." Miller stated on ESPN. "Certainly sounds like he won't get out of the third-round. His age would be a factor if we were talking about him as a first-rounder, but in round two or round three, no one cares that the guy is 25 years old, and it might actually benefit him because he will be able to get on the field a little bit earlier than some of the other prospects."
Tyler Shough draft stock continues to rise every day, and as we get closer to the NFL Combine, Louisville football fans are excited to see how high their former quarterback can go in the NFL Draft.
So, Shough just needs to put on another performance in Indianapolis this week, and his draft stock will only keep rising.
