SPENCER RATTLER IS not done yet. He's closing in on an hour for this afternoon's throwing session, but he's just sniffed out a challenge. The road to the NFL draft is a slog -- the self-seriousness of the combine, the forensic analysis of testing numbers, the sheer quantity of questions asked and answered, then asked and answered again. ("The Patriots f---ing grilled me," he says in between passing drills.) But for this one moment in late March, one month before some team in the NFL calls his name early in the draft -- or not; he's one of the draft's most intriguing riddles -- Rattler's just a kid with a ball and the chance to one-up his buddy.
