Rattler said that he took a pre-draft visit to New Orleans and had dinner with Saints quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko. Rattler said the visit went great and he had a feeling the Saints could be in the mix to select him in the draft.Saints coach Dennis Allen said on Friday that the Saints did not make any move to trade up to get one of the first six quarterbacks off the board in the first round.
Rattler attended the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, La. in 2022 and said that he still keeps in touch with former Saints quarterback Archie Manning. He said that he and Manning, the second pick by the Saints in 1971, text on a weekly basis. Rattler was a fifth-year senior at South Carolina after spending his first three college seasons at Oklahoma. He finished his college career having completed 68.5 percent of his passes for 10,807 yards, 77 touchdowns and 32 interceptions. He was named the Senior Bowl MVP this spring.
