PFF - Spiller may not have high-end traits, but he has a complete NFL skill set.
FB Guys - Spiller’s bad combine should be chalked up to an injury, as his tape was more than good enough to make him the RB3 in this year’s class. We’ll look to draft capital to see whether his stock suffered greatly from the combine numbers - but it shouldn’t - Spiller was a starter as a freshman in the SEC. He’s not going to stand out for his raw athleticism, but Spiller has good feet and decision-making, he’s physical and durable, and he’s an advanced pass catcher. Spiller followed in his father’s footsteps to play football at Texas A&M. He could move up a tier if he goes on the second day to a good landing spot.
DLF - Post-Draft Summary: Wow. Spiller lasted all the way to the end of round four before being taken by the Los Angeles Chargers. It's a significant fall from grace for a running back thought to be in play for a first round or even top-five pick prior to the draft starting. Instead, he's now a likely second round pick in rookie formats and one with more risk than expected. He should give the Chargers a solid backup to Austin Ekeler and projects as a good change-of-pace back. However, his path to significant guaranteed touches is pretty cloudy.
