He went 4-of-8 in team periods and 3-of-4 in 7-on-7. The 7-on-7 incompletion came on a ball to Devaughn Vele after Shough held it too long and Quincy Riley broke it up. Shough completed passes to Juwan Johnson, Travis Etienne twice, Vele, Jordyn Tyson, Moliki Matavao and Noah Fant. Johnson dropped another team-period throw. Isaac Yiadom was in coverage on an incompletion to Chris Olave.

One of the biggest mistakes to make during OTA is getting too high or low about anything. These practices don't mean much in the bigger picture, it's about setting a foundation and building on that. Avoid injuries, get comfortable and ideally have some success in the process. That was the case for Shough, who I had (very unofficially) with completions on 9 of 10 passes, including some aggressive throws downfield, during the 7-on-7 drills. He was particularly aggressive when it came to targeting his tight ends, which I expect to be a theme this season. Of his completions, six went to TEs, including Noah Fant (3), Juwan Johnson, Treyton Welch and Moliki Matavao. His best throw was on what looked like a comeback route to Devaughn Vele. Shough looks very comfortable as he heads into his first NFL season as the unquestioned starter. I thought @Spencer Rattler had some nice moments, including a highlight throw to Kevin Austin over the middle of the field, but there were a few inaccurate balls and there wasn't much downfield.
