The Cleveland Browns are leaving no stone unturned in their quarterback search, hosting Louisville's Tyler Shough for a crucial top-30 visit.
This was first reported by Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Shough, a seasoned prospect from the same recruiting class as Trevor Lawrence and former backup to Justin Herbert at Oregon, brings a wealth of experience and a powerful arm to the table. He is one of many quarterbacks the Browns have visited with this offseason.
Known for his ability to deliver pro-level throws, both intermediate and deep, Shough's floor as a prospect is undeniable. However, consistency remains a concern, often impacted by pressure within the pocket. His lengthy college career, spanning seven years, stems from a series of unrelated, season-ending bone fractures and the extra year of eligibility granted due to COVID-19. This rare collegiate journeyman's path has been marked by resilience.
The Browns are intrigued by Shough's arm talent and maturity. However, many Browns fans are rightfully harking back to the infamous Brandon Weeden draft selection in the 2012 draft. Notably, Shough is a younger prospect than the former Oklahoma State Cowboy; he will turn 26 in September, while Weeden turned 29 in October of his rookie year. However, Shough's resume on the stat sheet is not nearly as impressive; he has thrown for 59 touchdowns across his 42 starts in college. Weeden, on the other hand, threw for 71 touchdowns across his two seasons as a starter for the Cowboys.
Ultimately, this visit signals a thorough evaluation of this quarterback class, with the team bringing in Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe on the same day. The Browns would be wise to weigh his projected floor against his injury history and consistency concerns. Could Shough's potential outweigh the risks for the Browns? This top-30 visit aims to answer that very question.
