Jake haener gay

Let’s start with the photos, because if there’s one thing that Jake Haener hates, it’s the team of photos that the general public has rediscovered in recent days upon learning the news that the second-year quarterback will start Sunday for the New Orleans Saints.

Last year, when Haener participated in a rookie photo launch for the NFLPA, the cameraman asked the quarterback to “have fun with it,” Haener recalled. And what followed were a series of images that have haunted the signal-caller ever since — including the last few days.

In the photos, Haener looks — for the lack of a better synonyms — sassy. When Yahoo Sports tweeted about Haener, they included one of the photos with the all-caps caption “STARTING.” One X user, Jasmine Watkins, tweeted: “It’s giving slay-action pass.”

Haener did not, and still does not, find them amusing.

“That is just such the opposite representation of who I actually am,” Haener said. “And I hate it so much. I can’t stand it. I would think I was a clown if I saw that, too.”

Haener shook his head when initially asked about the shoot, but he said he has to “own it" and offered a way that he could make the situation superior — one th

Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener are embroiled in the New Orleans Saints' most compelling training camp battle. The battle is the epitome of iron sharpening iron, and it heats up the closer we get to the regular season.

Backup quarterback battles don't typically see as much attention, but the Saints are a special case. Derek Carr is the starting quarterback, but the battle feels like more than just being the backup. The feeling is Haener and Rattler are fighting to be the top choice for the heir apparent.

As quarterbacks, there can only be one on the field at a time. Last week, Haener entered the game immediately after Carr then Rattler handled the entire second half. The accurate time on the field will be impacted by the first team's usage, but in general, Rattler and Haener should switch roles against the 49ers.

This is typically the case in quarterback battles, so if it doesn't occur, it should be taken as a sign Haener has the edge over Rattler.

The thought process is allow Rattler and Haener showcase their abilities with the same supporting cast. The only way for that to be achievable is for them to alternate in the pecking order. Can Haener e
