Last year, six rookie quarterbacks start a game in the NFL. Saints rookie Tyler Shough is expected to join that group this season. The 25-year-old out of Louisville is -300 to be the Week 1 starter for New Orleans. Shough opened at -140 but the number shifted after Derek Carr announced his retirement.
In 2023, there were a record-setting 10 QBs to start under center.
The draft class wasn’t as ripe in 2025 as it has been in recent years, so how many will get a shot to start this season?
