NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The Savannah Bananas sold out the Caesars Superdome on back-to-back nights, and New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough was in attendance, taking part in the show as a first-time participant.
Fresh off his rookie season with the Saints, Shough participated in run-throughs with the Savannah Bananas ahead of Saturday night’s performance.
“When they first reached out, I was like, I thought it was like a prank just because, you know, of their lore, of everything that they’re kind of about,” Shough said. “It’s such a cool opportunity. And then it kind of came to fruition. I was like, Oh, this is real. And then now walking in here, getting to do it, doing the run-throughs with the guys, it was like... I mean, I want to travel with these guys every single week. They’re like the talk of the town. So I was fired up to be here and get to be a part of it.”
Shough also addressed the Saints’ activity in free agency.
“Man, I think each one of those guys bring just unique, unique edge to the team,” Shough said. “They’re veterans, they’re great people. They got explosiveness in their game. So I was just fired up to meet those guys and get to kind of work with them. I think we’re going to kind of continue to get better. And my job is to do that myself and do everything that we can to have that sense of urgency going into OTAs and camp coming up. But man, fired up to have those guys because they’re difference makers.”
