As Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the NFL is likely leaving the millennium behind.
Shough, who was born in Sept. 1999, was one of the oldest draft prospects this year. More importantly, he was the only top prospect in this draft born in the 20th century — and will probably be the last.
At age 25, Shough is notably older than his fellow draftees, who are mostly 21 or 22 years old. Nearly all of the prospects were born in the 2000s, with Shough being the only '90s kid left in the draft pool.
