Rattler is now hitting his stride with the start of Saints training camp, earning some praise from breakout wide receiver Chris Olave.

"Rattler's arm talent is off the charts," Olave said .

Olave took note of the hype surrounding Rattler coming out of college, even though the quarterback fell to the fifth round.

"This was one of the biggest praises of Rattler coming out of college, having been rated highly by scouts even as a high school recruit," Olave added. "It’s also a reason Saints fans are excited about his potential."

Though Rattler had some difficulty with timing and accuracy in the team's earlier practices, he told reporters that he felt comfortable on the field and was confident he would turn things around once padded practices started.
