The surprising retirement of New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr this past spring resulted in rookie Tyler Shough being penciled in atop the depth chart as the club's new starter heading into training camp.

Shough is competing with second-year quarterback Spencer Rattler and 2022 fourth-round pick Jake Haener for the starting job. He could become just the second rookie quarterback to start Week 1 for the Saints, and the first since Archie Manning did it more than 50 years ago in 1971.

Rookie Tyler Shough is competing to replace Derek Carr as the starting quarterback of the Saints. The 40th overall pick is the frontrunner to start the season opener, which would make him the first Week 1 rookie starting quarterback for the team since Archie Manning in 1971.
