Saints' Tyler Shough gets Rookie of the Year news from Pepsi Zero Sugar fan voting

The New Orleans Saints didn't have the best 2025 season, finishing with just six wins and 11 losses, but there was one major win from the season that was worth any amount of losses.

That big victory is that Tyler Shough, the 2nd round rookie quarterback from the 2025 NFL Draft, looks to be the answer at the quarterback position for the Saints.

NFL fans agree, as the Saints announced that Shough earned the Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Year award from fan voting for the 2025 season.

Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team also shared the announcement for Shough and specified that, "This is the fan vote - not the official AP vote, which will be announced tonight."

The Saints' rookie quarterback hasn't won the official rookie of the year vote, but he has earned the respect of NFL fans, earning the Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Year award for his 2025 rookie season.

Shough only played in 11 games, with Spencer Rattler starting the year for New Orleans. But once Shough took over, he never relinquished the reins of the offense.

He went 5-4 on the year, putting up a 67.6% completion percentage with 2,384 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, six interceptions, and a passer rating of 91.3.

He took 31 sacks, a bit more than what the Saints would like. But, with his 186 yards and three touchdowns running the ball on 45 attempts, the Saints quarterback was able to make things work this season.

Shough is the answer at quarterback for the Saints, and this honor from the fan voting is a sign that he's broken out in the NFL already.

While he still has room to develop and improve, his play this season was enough for fans to vote him as the league's best rookie this past season.
