In the interest of accuracy, this is not a power back. Spiller says he is the next Joe Mixon. Elite short area quickness. Wait. Vision. Jump hop. Back cut.Plus receiver. Vital piece to steal snaps from the great Austin Ekeler.
TBH I was guessing LAC would count on Kelley giving us a boost with a little Zion now happening,
or at least give Joshua another year to start really bringing it.
Excellent value here...wu is surprised...pleasantly surprised.We do not play modern football.

By Lance Zierlein NFL Analyst Draft Projection Round 3 NFL Comparison Rashaad Penny Overview Volume-carry running back with good size and talent for starting consideration as a pro. He was slowed, at times, by inconsistent run blocking but was still productive and consistent for much of the 2021 season. He has interior vision and loose hips, allowing him to locate and get to run lanes regardless of traffic. Spiller runs with good elusiveness but stays in that mode a little too long, which can affect his ability to finish with authority. He's a solid back but not overly dynamic and lacks the desired third-down value right now.

I’ll say Spiller’s athleticism shows a lot more on tape than testing. A 30” vertical? 4.63 speed? Not the traits you’re looking for in a RB. But he’s shifty, especially in the open field. Seems able to read blocks. Somewhat patient.
I’ll keep my powder blue lenses on for this selection.Our quarterback is a golden god.

Besides Mixon, I've seen comparisons to Lesean McCoy. Outstanding quickness, no long speed. But our offense has other homerun hitters. We need a first and second down back who can also catch, to keep defenses honest. How many plays were wasted when Kelley couldn't break a soft tackle on an inside run, or Roundtree couldn't catch a simple pass? How many third and shorts became fourth down gambles, because we couldn't gain one yard? Zion and Spiller should change that.
