Picking breakout candidates is actually easier than you'd think. Every NFL team has, at all times, four to five of them. Be it a fine veteran who steps up his game in the absence of an injured star (Wan'Dale Robinson) or an offseason departure (Jaxon Smith-Njigba). Be it a middle-round pick who quietly developed in weekly practices and waited for his opportunity (Parker Washington, Tanor Bortolini). Be it a first-round pick for whom the lightbulb finally came on (DJ Turner II, Dallas Turner, yes those are two different people). Or be it a zip code change (Jaylinn Hawkins, Javonte Williams).

They chose to keep playing. More than 60 players made their UFL debuts during the 2026 season, and 13 first-year UFL players earned NFL contracts following the spring season. SEE MORE>>

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. SEE MORE>>
