Eagles eyeing Senior Bowl MVP?

As a four-star recruit coming out of high school, Rattler was heavily recruited before joining the Oklahoma Sooners. He became a Heisman candidate by throwing for 3,031 yards and 28 touchdowns in 2020. After being benched for Caleb Williams, he transferred to South Carolina where had back-to-back 3,000 yard seasons and 37 touchdowns for the Gamecocks from 2022-23.

With only Tanner McKee signed to backup Jalen Hurts, the Eagles could use another quarterback. Fortunately, the team is projected to receive an extra third and three compensatory fifth-round draft picks in the next draft, giving Philadelphia plenty of ammunition to get Rattler in the later rounds.

Not long ago, the Eagles surprised everyone by choosing Jalen Hurts in the second-round after giving Carson Wentz a four-year, $128M contract extension the year before. Hurts signed a five-year, $233M contract in April. That worked out pretty well, but could history repeat itself? 

While most consider Ritter a project, with Hurts signed through 2028 the Eagles can afford to take their time with a talented, inexpensive quarterback if they choose.
