The 2024 NFL Draft quarterback class has been heavily discussed as having a clear trio at the top followed by the next tier of guys. But one NFL analyst feels there's a name that isn't being talked about enough that could be taken much sooner than anyone is expecting.

While Spencer Rattler has certainly had an up-and-down career at Oklahoma and South Carolina, he's been one of the breakout stars of the draft-preparation period, including becoming the MVP of the Senior Bowl with a chance to further see his stock rise this week at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.

The quarterbacks take the field at the NFL combine for activities on Saturday and Rattler will also be able to increase awareness during South Carolina's Pro Day, which has not had a date announced yet.
