New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler throws a pass during NFL football training camp, Wednesday, July 24, 2024, in Irvine, Calif. South Carolina head football coach Shane Beamer speaks during Southeastern Conference NCAA college football media days Monday, July 15, 2024, in Dallas. FILE - South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers crosses into the end zone for a 36-yard rushing touchdown during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Vanderbilt, on Nov.
Sellers said he was grateful for the time to grow and develop his high school game into one suited for the Southeastern Conference. Beamer remembers when he was an assistant coach at Oklahoma how then-Sooners’ starter, now Eagles starter, Jalen Hurts, did the same for a young Rattler there. None of that was a surprise to Rattler, who saw an attentive, heady player with leadership potential who did everything necessary to improve.
Rattler, Sellers said, taught the younger QB how to be confident in making decisions, both on and off the field.
