Tyler Shough's contract isn't much money to pay a backup quarterback. But if he can earn the Saints' starting job, his deal will look like a bargain:

Expectations are high for the second-round pick, but the 26-year-old knows adversity and he's not backing away.

The biggest irony of the Saints' QB competition might be this: Spencer Rattler, who already has NFL starts under his belt, is exactly 365 days younger than Shough. Shough will definitely need to turn it around to make his best case.
