Shough is ranked in the top 10 for quarterbacks entering the draft and is predicted to be selected in the fourth round. Shough put the nation on notice this past weekend and raised his draft stock tremendously.
Louis Reddick tweeted that Tyler Shough is being "overlooked" and a fit with the Rams and Sean McVay would be a match made in heaven.
"He is being overlooked." Reddic tweeted. "But he won’t be anymore. As I said on TV today…if he can play in a system/for a coach like McVay at the , he has starting ability in the league.
Got to see @LouisvilleFB QB Tyler Shough play live/called his games 2x in ‘24.

Talked with Jeff and Brian Brohm about him.
Talked with the young man.
Studied his tape…, where he consistently made nothing but #NFL caliber throws. And he did that the last two days in practice in…
Shough was one of the main quarterbacks that stood out during Senior Bowl prep and then his showing in the game showed NFL scouts what he is capable of, and that maybe this QB draft class isn't as weak as they thought. Shough demonstrated his accuracy and red-zone ability as his touchdown pass nearly went viral, and was one of the best balls of the day.
The Senior Bowl isn't going to make or break Tyler Shough NFL career and where he is selected on draft day. However, it seemed the former Louisville quarterback took a step in the right direction and his draft stock is higher than it was prior.
