Before Philadelphia Eagles supporters write the South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler’s draft selection in stone, let’s review a few important facts: *It’s a wonderful feather in his cap that he was awarded Senior Bowl MVP this past weekend. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he will avoid being selected as a Day 3 pick in the April NFL Draft, as most experts believe.He did better than several players with higher rankings, such as Michael Penix Jr. of Washington and Bo Nix of Oregon. However, since we are still very early in the process, they will very certainly still be first-round picks.According to Philly Birds Country, “the Eagles expressed interest and have already had a meeting with Rattler.”
Excellent, however… traditionally, every team plays every player at the Senior Bowl. Thus, if a team is unable to meet with a candidate, that could be the true news. Jalen Hurts and Spencer Rattler at the University of Oklahoma while they were roommates. Do the Eagles now think highly of the 23-year-old quarterback? With Tanner McKee, a sixth-round rookie from the previous year, already in the fold, do they really need to acquire another body? And here’s something else that undoubtedly haunts Rattler a little bit: He was a Hurts teammate at Oklahoma, where he was initially seen as a Heisman contender and later as the number one overall choice. However, Caleb Williams later relocated to USC and became a No. 1 choice prospect, therefore he was benched in favor of Williams. Related: The ‘Bombshell’ Truth Behind the Eagles A.J.

Hurts is, in fact, an MVP caliber player who was also fortunate enough to be selected in the second round.
