After getting some late hype in the draft process, Rattler — with maturity questions dogging him — slides all the way to the 150th pick, and will now compete for backup duties behind Derek Carr. Rattler (6’0/211) is a four-year starter who closed out his career with two seasons at South Carolina. A strong 2020 campaign as a sophomore had many viewing Rattler as a potential first-round pick in 2022, but instead, he lost his starting role to Caleb Williams midway through the 2021 season and is now hoping for a chance to carve out an NFL career. In his best season, Rattler threw for 3031-28-7 while averaging 9.6 YPA. He never replicated that production again, totaling 6212-37-20 in two years with the Gamecocks. He totaled a career-high 39 sacks in his final season and also had a career-low ADOT of 7.5. Lacking ideal size, arm strength, or speed, Rattler would be best suited in an offense that’s built on quick range and short/intermediate passes.
