Tyler Shough’s breakout performance against the Carolina Panthers has reignited hope for the New Orleans Saints' quarterback future. It has also been quieting heated draft debates and shifting focus from prospects like Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson.

Offensive line improvements—featuring Kelvin Banks Jr. and Dillon Radunz—sparked a much-needed boost to the run game, allowing Alvin Kamara and Devin Neal to find early success.
