Dowell Loggains’ message to NFL teams about Spencer Rattler ahead of next week’s draft
By: Mike Uva
With the NFL Draft just a week away, on Thursday, South Carolina offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains made it clear that whoever drafts Spencer Rattler is getting more than just a good quarterback.
“The biggest thing I tell these NFL GMs and coaches that call me about Spencer is his ability to overcome adversity and deal with prosperity. Spencer has done it,” said Loggains. “Going through hard times in life isn’t fun but in the NFL you’re gonna go through that… You gotta be able to stand in there and take it on the chin and own the bad and praise the good. I think Spencer has gone through all of that and he’s better for it. I think he’s fireproof and ready to go.”

Having spent 13 years coaching in the NFL, including seven years as an offensive coordinator, Loggains knows firsthand what it takes to play professionally. That’s why so many teams have been interested in his input about Rattler after having the chance to work with him in 2023.
“I’ve got a lot of calls and it’s picked up over the last week… You’re talking about an extremely tough player that has an unbelievable throwing motion. I hope my son throws like him… He’s an extremely blessed thrower. He’s a great teammate. He’s an unbelievable teammate.”
