METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints began OTAs last week with a rare sight: A quarterback competition.
Second-year quarterback Spencer Rattler and rookie quarterback Tyler Shough were split off in sections of the team's indoor practice facility. On Thursday, Rattler worked with the first-team offense and Shough with the second-team. Third-year quarterback Jake Haener, who is dealing with an oblique strain, watched from the side.
Both quarterbacks had their highs and lows in practice, with Shough's best throw coming on a deep pass to wide receiver Rashid Shaheed.
