I think the really interesting take from that interview was Pelissero saying a lot of coaches watched Saints tape because of the coaching vacancies, and he’s heard a lot of good things from them about Rattler, and his potential to be a starter in the NFL.
I take that with a grain of salt because we have no idea who those coaches are and what they actually said. Also, Pelissero's gave us this report:
An anonymous NFC scouting director currently believes that South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler is a better prospect than Washington signal-caller Michael Penix Jr. in the 2024 NFL draft.
"I have Spencer higher than Penix," the executive said, via NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Not only was Rattler not drafted before Penix, but he wasn't taken until the 5th round. If there was any team as high on Rattler as Pelissero insinuates, then it's unlikely they don't take a flyer on him before the 5th round. Pelissero seems to have gotten enamored with Rattler at the Senior Bowl, because he's been hyping him up ever since then and he always uses anonymous sources to do it.
