Now he enters 2021 as the Heisman Trophy frontrunner and the No. 1 returning quarterback in college football (per Pro Football Focus). Oklahoma has national title aspirations, and if Rattler can lead the team into the postseason with a strong sophomore campaign, he could lock up a top-10 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Spencer Rattler Scouting Report
Strengths
- No. 1 pro-style dual-threat quarterback recruit in 2019 class.
- No. 3 with 92.5 PFF passing grade in 2020, behind only 2021 first-rounders Zach Wilson and Mac Jones.
- Playing for a program that has launched three straight starting quarterbacks to the NFL with significant draft capital (Baker Mayfield – 1.01, Kyler Murray – 1.01, Jalen Hurts – 2.53).
- Smart player who protects the football.
Weaknesses
- Undersized (6-foot-1, 210 pounds) and middling athlete (4.88-second 40-yard dash, 85.8 SPARQ rating as a recruit).
- Shotgun-exclusive passer who rarely needs to read the whole field.
- Playing in a program that inflates stats.
- Adequate but not elite arm strength.

Rattler does not compare to 2021 No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence, but his 2019 recruitment ranking and 2020 performance collectively suggest that he has the talent and skill set to warrant a selection at the top of the board.
Pick: Rattler No. 1 pick, +300; 0.5 units
