WATCH: Spencer Rattler’s best plays of the preseason


The New Orleans Saints fan base is excited for the debut of Spencer Rattler. This is probably the most excited the fan base has been in years. Rattler is a young quarterback with a skillset that feels like he can be a starter in this league moving forward. And quite frankly, some of the excitement derives from Derek Carr fatigue.

It’s for a slightly different reason that excitement level has spilled into the locker room. There’s belief in Rattler, and an intrigue on how the young player will perform. That is independent of Carr but still based on his skillset.

As Rattler prepares for his debut, the Saints official social media account posted the best plays we’ve seen from him thus far. It’s primarily passes but there are a couple of runs mixed in there. It isn’t a preseason highlight tape without showing Rattler run through a defender for a touchdown.
Rattler’s passing highlights are headlined by a back shoulder throw to Samson Nacua and a deep shot to now-Denver Bronco A.T. Perry.

If you need an extra shot in the arm prior to Sunday’s game, watch this tape.
