Spencer Rattler is back at home in Scottsdale, Ariz. training with Mike Giovando, a personal quarterbacks coach with the Elev8 Quarterback Academy. He was joined by University of Washington quarterback Will Rogers at the Banner Sports Medicine High Performance Center for a day’s work.
Giovando shared a few video clips of the New Orleans Saints quarterback staying sharp as the offseason begins, demonstrating a mixture of footwork drills and throwing sessions.
One thing that was noteworthy is most of the throws were deep outbreaking routes that showcased Rattler’s arm strength.
With new coach Kellen Moore coming to town and Derek Carr’s future unknown, this is an important offseason for Rattler. The young player may have a chance to compete for a starting spot going into his second year.
Even if the Saints cut Carr, it’s unlikely they just gift the reins to Rattler. As much potential as he showed, he still failed to win a game in his starts as a rookie. He could be competing with another mid-round rookie quarterback, or possibly a veteran who would likely be a bridge quarterback.
It’s not as if Rattler was going to spend the offseason on the couch regardless, but the jump from Year 1 to Year 2 is crucial for Rattler.
