The Saints may have found a gem on Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft in quarterback Spencer Rattler
The New Orleans Saints may have come away with the bargain of the 2024 NFL Draft when they selected former Oklahoma and South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler in the fifth round., Rattler has received nothing but praise from the Saints' media and players alike. His arm talent has never been a question throughout his collegiate career, and the former five star quarterback has been letting it rip.

I want to see him in action, but from my first impression, he’s going to be a really good player.”May 11, 2024; New Orleans, LA, USA; New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler runs drills during the rookie minicamp at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center.

Currently battling Jake Haener, who was suspended a year ago for breaking the league's PED usage policy, Rattler has put himself in the position to win the backup quarterback job in New Orleans. And while Derek Carr has been known for his willingness and ability to play through various ailments, this would put Rattler one snap away from taking over as the starting quarterback of the Saints.
He did not live up to his five star hype at the college level, but Rattler is seemingly taking advantage of his early opportunities at the NFL level. Let's take a look at some of the throws the fifth round pick has been making throughout the early stages of Saints' training camp thus far:- Strong day for the offense. Carr/Rattler/Haener combined 11-16, no picks
