Spencer Rattler Drafted by Saints in Fifth Round After Unexpected Slide

Adam Schefter attributes the significant draft slide of Spencer Rattler primarily to the early selections of quarterbacks by the Broncos and Falcons, closing his most likely landing spots.

Spencer Rattler, once a potential first-round pick, fell to the fifth round in the 2024 NFL Draft, selected by the New Orleans Saints at pick No. 150.
Adam Schefter suggests that Rattler's draft fall was largely due to the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons, his most favorable teams, selecting other quarterbacks early on.
Rumors about Rattler's participation in a high school reality show, 'QB1: Beyond the Lights,' raised concerns but were not definitively linked to his draft position by team insiders.
Despite his slide, Rattler's performance at South Carolina, where he threw for over 6,000 yards and 37 touchdowns, highlights his potential.
The New Orleans Saints could benefit from Rattler's talents as he competes to be a backup and potentially the future starting quarterback.
