I liked Spiller as well, just never lived up to the 7th overall pick level, probably mostly due to coaching and use. However, he was NEVER an every down back,
o Seemed to get banged up a lot, and never really carried much of a load.
o He did have the one good season under Gailey. Great in space, but didn't seem to
break a lot of tackles.
o Didn't have good field vision it seemed to me, and ran out of bounds a lot. IMO
He did seem to catch very well, and was a really good 3rd down option. But SUPERSTAR? Not really seeing that.
