Spencer Rattler’s debut impressed New Orleans Saints legend Drew Brees

What did Drew Brees see when he saw Spencer Rattler make his NFL debut? Exactly what Brees expected to see from the New Orleans Saints rookie: “a guy who plays with a lot of confidence, can make all the throws.”

Rattler was impressive. His mobility and arm talent were on full display against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He performed well in the first half despite being without Chris Olave after the third game. That will be the case again against the Denver Broncos.

However, it wasn’t all perfect for Rattler. The rookie threw two interceptions in the second half. Brees attributes that in part to taking abnormal risks while overtaking. That goes for Rattler’s second choice.

Overall, Brees understands that mistakes are part of the learning process for young players. “You have to make some of those mistakes and deal with them, like any young player does.”

In his NFL debut, Rattler accomplished what fans had wanted to see. He showed potential for the future. This week is about building on last week’s foundation.
