Coach Kellen Moore has named Rattler the Saints' starting quarterback for Week 1, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

The NFL's last remaining preseason QB competition finally reached its conclusion, as Rattler beat out rookie second-round pick Tyler Shough. In seven games (six starts) as a 2024 fifth-rounder last season, Rattler completed 130 of 228 passes (57 percent) for 1,317 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions, while adding 18 carries for 146 yards and fumbling five times (three lost). He'll be under center for the Saints on Sunday, Sept. 7 against the Cardinals, but Rattler likely won't have much job security.
