Spencer Rattler is the starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints. The second-year pro out of South Carolina was named starter by head coach Kellen Moore on Tuesday.

Rattler started six games in his rookie season after Derek Carr went down with injuries, and was competing with 2025 second-round pick Tyler Shough for the starting gig throughout the summer.
