Spencer Rattler's Poise Praised by Saints Coach Ahead of 1st NFL Start vs. Bucs

The New Orleans Saints are prepared to start Spencer Rattler with full confidence in the young signal-caller.

The Saints are expected to be without starter Derek Carr for several weeks after he suffered an oblique injury, and the team will turn to 2024 fifth-round pick Spencer Rattler to keep the team afloat.

Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported that the Saints are confident that Rattler will handle the position and that the 24-year-old possesses significant poise.

They made the decision to go with Rattler instead of Jake Haener because of Rattler's standout performance during the preseason and in practices.
