He's not Chubb...which means that in the fourth round we didn't get a guy who is as good as one of the five best running backs in the NFL. Chubb was taken at the top of the second round. For a fourth round pick, this was a solid selection. No go get Calvin Austin or Matt Araiza.

For the Chubb comparison, Chubb had a 38.5" vert at 227#. Spiller has a 30" vert. That's like 30% less explosive power in the legs.
He does have nice vision and patience running over center, and the Chargers do have a nice interior.
Described as loose limbed to manuever in tight quarters.
He does have nice receiving and pass blocking skills.
If someone is thinking he'll run over people and break a lot of tackles - ain't happening.
Nothing special running wide and makes few people miss.

he’s no chubb, he won’t break tackles like chubb, but he has amazing vision and will find holes. He’s not going to have negative rushing plays. I think he is a HUGE improvement from what we have. A complete player and he’ll get a lot of playtime because he can pass protect. A fantastic robin for ekeler’s batman!
