Just days before the regular season kicks off, Spencer Rattler of the New Orleans Saints stepped into the spotlight this week when the team announced he will open the 2025 NFL season as the starting quarterback. The decision came after a training camp competition with rookie Tyler Shough and placed the second-year passer at the center of the team’s quarterback battle. Rattler’s promotion drew immediate attention across the league, but no reaction carried more weight than that of legendary quarterback Drew Brees, who strongly backed the team’s decision. In a recent sports program appearance, Brees was asked if he was surprised that the Saints handed QB1 duties to Rattler.
