Spencer Rattler Steals Show in Bo Nix Matchup, Impresses Fans at 2024 Senior Bowl

South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler likely helped his 2024 NFL draft stock significantly with his performance in the 2024 Senior Bowl on Saturday.

Getting the start for the American team, Rattler went 4-of-4 for 65 yards and threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to Georgia wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint on the first drive of the game:

Given how efficient the American offense looked during Rattler's short time in the game, the talented signal-caller received a great deal of support on social media from observers who believe he could be a steal in the draft:

Rattler burst onto the scene as a redshirt freshman at Oklahoma in 2020 when he completed 67.5 percent of his passes for 3,031 yards, 28 touchdowns and seven interceptions, but after struggling in 2021, he transferred and spent his final two seasons at South Carolina.

In 2023, Rattler completed 68.9 percent of his passing attempts for a career-high 3,186 yards, plus 19 touchdowns and eight picks. He also rushed for four touchdowns.

USC's Caleb Williams, North Carolina's Drake Maye and LSU's Jayden Daniels are seemingly surefire first-round picks in the 2024 NFL draft, but the pecking order is unclear beyond that.

It is difficult to envision Rattler being a first-rounder since he is on the smaller side and didn't put up huge numbers collegiately, but he likely caught the eye of many NFL teams Saturday.

Another quarterback who likely helped his cause in the Senior Bowl was Bo Nix, who went 4-of-5 for 21 yards and a touchdown as the National team quarterback.

After completing 77.4 percent of his passes for 4,508 yards, 45 touchdowns and three interceptions this past season at Oregon, Nix has a legitimate chance to sneak into the first round.

Talent evaluators seem to be split on whether Nix can excel at the next level, but it is tough to ignore his production against a high level of competition.
