Outlook: The Rattlers return almost two-thirds of their roster, and they are pretty well-equipped at skill positions. Scottie Meyer was a 1,000-yard rusher last season, and Adrian Adame is very capable as Meyer's backup. At QB, Bobby Moran is young but talented and Mike Morales will also get a look. The defensive front should be solid with Jisso Kim and Rodrigo Garcia back. The secondary is led by Sean Peterson. Improving on a 5-5 season is possible.
