Super Bowl media week has been a great opportunity to hear about lots of different topics regarding former and current Saints players. One of the more recent discussions happened with 2024 rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, who was asked what Jalen Hurts impressed on him when they were together for a year at Oklahoma, and what he learned about him.
Rattler had high praise for him: “Yeah, you know I was only around him for a year, but it was a great year for me to learn. I was a young guy, obviously he was a proven guy in college, and exactly what he was doing back then he’s doing now. You know, he’s winning, he’s serious about his craft, very focused, doesn’t play around too much and you gotta respect that and take a few things from that, learn from that.”
The two of them would overlap with the Sooners in 2019 before Hurts would go on to be drafted, while Rattler stuck around through 2021 before heading to South Carolina. While the chance to learn was only limited to one season, it is clear that Rattler took a lot from him based on this quote.
