a week of practice? Just doesn’t make sense unless they have flaws they don’t won‘t to show. If I were a GM I would question if a guy would continue to give 100% after his team is eliminated from the playoff race, and that could be 9 games into the season.

Because the senior bowl is all about the week of practice. Rattler was named MVP and only played one series i believe. He was named MVP because of what he did during the week. NFL scouts are more interested in the practices than the actual game.

Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina
During the Senior Bowl game, Rattler completed a 29-yard touchdown pass to Georgia’s Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. That play was just a glimpse of how Rattler performed throughout the week.

Not only did Rattler make some impressive throws during the three practices, but he displayed confidence and decisiveness. Rattler also showed his NFL-level cannon for an arm.

It remains to be seen if Rattler has done enough to be selected in the first three days of the draft. But if he is around in Round 4, the Jets should run to the podium.

Sure, the Jets have Aaron Rodgers and are expected to sign a veteran quarterback. But Rattler could be an excellent developmental project.
