Saints QB Tyler Shough Sends Message To New Orleans Fans
With the 2025 National Football League regular season roughly 25 percent of the way done, the New Orleans Saints find themselves in last place in the NFC South
.
New Orleans is 0-4 after losing on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Things aren't where anyone on the team would want them to be. One of the biggest talking points for the Saints heading into the season was the quarterback competition between Spencer Rattler and 2025 second-round pick Tyler Shough. Rattler won the job and has done a solid job so far this season for the Saints despite the 0-4 record. Rattler hasn't been the reason why the Saints are in the position that they are in right now.
He's done well and Shough has been backing him up behind the scenes. Since the season began, there hasn't been a lot said about the rookie, but PEOPLE released an interview with Shough this past weekend and there were some interesting nuggets in it, including his mindset and also a message for Saints fans.
Tyler Shough has said all of the right things
"For me, I want to just keep the same mindset of, ‘I got to go earn my role.’ Nothing's given right now. Nothing's really expected," Shough said, "I got to continue to grow in the playbook and master that. Do everything that I can in order to put myself in that best position...
"The biggest thing I want to show is just how hard I play every single snap, that I'm going to be prepared and I'm going to go out there," Shough said in the interview about his message for Saints fans. "I want them to know that I'm here to stay for everybody, for the city and they're going to get everything out of me."
The Saints' quarterback room has gotten a lot of flak. But, Rattler has done a good job as the starter and Shough has said everything right before and after he found out he wasn't the starter. Fans should still have some hope, despite the slow start.
Bo Nix Commits to Donating a Significant Portion of His Earnings to Charity After Game, Focusing on Children and Families in Need
In a heartwarming and selfless announcement, Bo Nix
After an emotional post-game interview, Nix shared his decision to contribute to charitable foundations, with a focus on providing resources and assistance to vulnerable communities. "I’ve been incredibly fortunate in my life, and I feel it’s important to give back," Nix explained. "There are so many kids and families out there who are struggling, and I want to do my part to make a difference. I’m committing to donating a portion of my earnings from every game to organizations that support those in need."
"Focused on Kids and Families"
Nix’s decision comes after he spent time volunteering and interacting with local children in his community. His experience working with youth has deeply impacted him, and he has made it his mission to support initiatives that provide educational opportunities, food, housing, and healthcare to underserved families.
"I’ve seen firsthand how much the right support can change a child’s life," Nix shared. "Whether it’s access to a safe place to live, food on the table, or just someone who believes in them, these kids need to know that people care. I want to be a part of that change."
Nix is partnering with several well-established organizations that focus on improving the lives of children and families in difficult circumstances. His donations will go toward funding programs that help provide mentorship, educational resources, and basic needs to children in communities that are often overlooked.
"Using My Platform for Good"
While many athletes choose to give back in various ways, Nix’s decision to commit a portion of his earnings directly to charity after each game shows a personal investment in making a lasting difference. "It’s not about the spotlight," Nix said. "It’s about doing what I can to help those who need it most. I’ve been blessed with so much, and I want to make sure I’m using my platform in the best way possible."
Nix’s charitable efforts have already begun, with the first round of donations being directed to local organizations that focus on supporting at-risk children in Denver. "We’re getting the ball rolling right now, and I hope this encourages others to get involved too," Nix stated. "There’s no limit to what we can do when we all come together to help others."
"Inspiring Others to Give"
Nix’s decision has already sparked a wave of support from fans, teammates, and fellow athletes, who have praised his commitment to making a difference. His leadership on and off the field has earned him respect, and this latest initiative only adds to his legacy.
"I’m proud of Bo for making this decision," said Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton. "He’s always been about more than just football. He understands the impact he can have on the community, and this is just another example of how he’s using his platform for good."
Other athletes and local organizations have expressed interest in joining Nix’s cause, with many applauding his efforts to create meaningful change. "It’s inspiring to see a young man like Bo take this kind of initiative," said one charity representative. "His impact will be felt for years to come, and we’re excited to see what more can be done to support children and families in need."
"A Long-Term Commitment"
Nix’s charitable giving is not a one-time effort, but rather a long-term commitment. He has pledged to continue donating throughout his career and beyond, with a focus on creating sustainable change for those who need it the most.
"My goal is to make a lasting impact," Nix concluded. "This isn’t just about one season or one game. This is about doing what I can to change lives, and I’m dedicated to that for as long as I’m able."
As Nix continues to shine on the football field, his charitable efforts are proving that his impact goes far beyond the game, and his decision to use his success for good is an example for athletes everywhere.
