Spencer Rattler's football journey is one of peaks and valleys.He left high school in Arizona as the Cla s of 2019's top pro-style quarterback, , and committed to the University of Oklahoma with the hopes of being the Sooners' latest and greatest Corey Seager Jersey Heisman-caliber quarterback. Rattler spent his freshman year sitting behind 2019 Heisman Trophy runner-up and 2022 MVP runner-up before taking the reins in 2020.Oklahoma got off to slow start in 2020, dropping two of their first three games in Rattler's first season as the starter. However, after throwing six touchdowns to four interceptions in lo ses to Kansas State and Iowa State, he settled in and threw 18 touchdowns to only three interceptions the rest of the way to finish the year with 28 touchdowns to seven picks. The result was ending the year on an eight-game winning streak that included winning the Big 12 Championship and the Cotton Bowl.Rattler's Sooners career was then derailed in 2021 thanks to another five-star quarterback emerging behind him: Caleb Williams, the presumed first overall pick in the 2024 . Oklahoma fell behind 28-7 against their archrivals, the Texas Longhorns, so Williams was subbed into the game in place of Rattler. His understudy ran for a 66-yard touchdown right away. When it was all over, Williams had ama sed 212 pa sing yards and two touchdowns on 16 of 25 pa sing while adding 88 rushing yards in total en route to a stunning 55-48 Sooners comeback victory.That game e sentially closed the book on his time at Oklahoma, so he transferred to South Carolina. He had an uneven first season in Columbia, throwing 18 touchdowns to 12 interceptions, but his final two regular-season games of the year spoiled two Playoff hopefuls national title dreams with a 63-38 blowout of No. 5 Tenne see and a 31-30 nail- Maury Wills Jersey biting victory at No. 7 Clemson. Rattler threw a career-high six touchdowns and 438 pa sing yards on 30 of 37 pa sing in the flattening of the Volunteers. He improved in Year 2 in the SEC, to sing 19 touchdowns to just eight interceptions, but the Gamecocks went 5-7 as Rattler was unable to recapture his production and winning ways from his sophomore year at Oklahoma.Rattler finished his last showcase for the on a high note, winning MVP honors at the 2024 Senior Bowl by completing all four of his pa ses for 65 yards and a touchdown while playing only two po se sions. His American Team defeated the National Team 16-7. Rattler's touchdown to s looked like a throw one would see in the NFL, a back-shoulder dime off of a play-action pa s to Georgia receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. A dime from to on the first drive for the American squad NFL Network (@nflnetwork) No position holds greater value in football than quarterback, and below are the five franchises in a need of a pa ser of Rattler's caliber that could give him the best opportunity to shine down the road. The New York Giants have a problem. The team signed its quarterback selected sixth overall in the 2019 to a four-year, $160 million extension last offseason.Jones struggled in 2023, throwing two touchdowns to six interceptions in six starts before a torn ACL ended his season. His 2022 run in which he had the lowest interception rate (1.1%) in the NFL appears to be an aberration and not the new normal. However, the Giants would incur a $69 million Julio Urias Jersey dead cap charge if they cut Jones this offseason. That number decreases to a much more palatable $22 million charge in the 2025 offseason.New York clearly needs a succe sor for Jones, and by the time he will likely be shown the door in 2025, the Giants could have an improved cast of playmakers available for Rattler. The Denver Broncos need to resolve their quarterback situation, and it will likely be without . Head coach Sean Payton benched him for the final two games of the season after he and the Broncos front officebecause of tensions regarding his $37 million injury guarantee in 2024.Even if Wilson returns in 2024, it's rather than later. Rattler could be nice developmental pick in the third round to groom to become their quarterback in 2025. Prior to a tough 2023 in Denver, Payton coaxed succe sful quarterback play out of and in place of future Hall of Famer Drew Brees when in New Orleans. Perhaps he can be the coach to get the most out of a pa ser who was once deemed to have blue-chip potential.

Whomever becomes the next full-time quarterback for the Raiders has the gift of being able to throw to three-time First-Team All-Pro wide receiver . Las Vegas unsucce sfully toggled between (), and 2023 fourth-round pick . Rattler po se ses more arm talent than O'Connell, and he could very well beat him out to be the team's Week 1 starter if chosen in the third round. New Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce was Arizona State's recruiting coordinator and linebackers coach when the Sun Devils offer Rattler a scholarship back in high school. Pierce likely also saw plenty of Rattler's prep school games in person because the quarterback attended Pinnacle High School in Phoenix, about 25 miles from Arizona State's campus.That familiarity could bode well for Rattler in Vegas.Seattle currently has stability at quarterback. earned consecutive Pro Bowl appearances as their starter, and he played like a top-five quarterback in 2022. The three-year, $75 million deal he signed with the Seahawks in the 2023 offseason will expire after his age-35 season in 2025.That could be the perfect time for Rattler to replace him as the Seahawks' long-term starter. Pro Bowl wideout and 2023 first-round pick are a talented one-two punch, and both could very well still be on the roster by then. New offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb had Washington Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr. looking like the best quarterback in at times throughout the 2023 season. Rattler could get plenty of seasoning in a quarterback-friendly environment before becoming a starter in his third NFL season.The Falcons have a lot of offensive talent. Their eighth overall pick in 2023, running back , totaled the most scrimmage yards (1,463) by a rookie in team history. That total also ranked as second-most in the league among rookies last season, trailing only wide receiver and his 1,575 yards from scrimmage.Atlanta also has uber-talented pa s-catchers in wide receiver (the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Joc Pederson Jersey Draft) and tight end (the fourth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft). Up front, two-time Pro Bowl right guard graded out as Pro Football Focus' top guard with an 89.7 PFF offensive grade. All they need is a quarterback. , who produced the fourth-lowest expected points added per play among 32 qualified quarterbacks in 2023, isn't the answer. Perhaps Rattler can achieve his five-star recruit ceiling by playing in an offense thoroughly equipped with fellow high-level talent.
