Tyler Shough continues to make connections in New Orleans before his first full season as the Saints' starting quarterback. This time, it came through a cause that means a great deal to the organization and its fan base.
Shough participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge after being nominated by Steve Gleason to raise awareness of ALS. Gleason has long been one of the most important figures in the fight against ALS, and his connection to the Saints makes Shough's participation even more meaningful. The challenge has resurfaced after the Tennessee Titans legend Chris Johnson announced that he was diagnosed with ALS at just age 39.
Gleason's impact on New Orleans has extended far beyond his playing career. He has remained a powerful voice in the ALS community, and moments like this continue to bring players, fans, and the larger football world together around the cause. It might seem like a small offseason moment, but Shough not being "too big" for the cause is the kind of community thing that Saints fans notice.
Shough nominated his Saints teammates Juwan Johnson and Cam Jordan. Head Coach Kellen Moore also received a nomination from his second-year quarterback.
