jethro_tull Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) It has been reported Texas A&M RB Isaiah Spiller will be a top 30 visit for the Bills. Basically I want the guy- and I hope the Bills pick him up somehow. The current trend is that RB is not a value position but an elite workhorse runner has always served the Bills well in the past. This will come in handy as the Bills should start considering trying to reduce the mileage and wear and tear Josh Allen typically sees. A gradual reduction through the seasons is highly recommended and Spiller seems like a long term answer. High value in my opinion. Watch this video and see who he reminds you of. Not elite explosiveness but deceptive moves, uncanny vision of the field and great hands. Gifted football instincts. Lets Go ! Draft Scouting Report Rating: 83.37 (Long-term starter) Pro Comparison: Miles Sanders Strengths: Big, thick feature back with dynamic cutting skills, high-end vision and contact balance. Very capable hands. Made difficult grabs down the field during his college career and can handle typical out-of-the-backfield duties. Stop-and-start skill is that of a scat back. His elusiveness is actually more impressive than his contact balance, but he rarely goes down on first contact. Often had to sneak through tiny cracks between the tackles. Can make defenders miss immediately after receiving the handoff. Awareness is great. Has the eyes and flexibility to do it. Amazing how he can find creases in the defense at his size. Weaknesses: Long speed leaves a lot to be desired. Not as explosive as some of the other top-tier backs in this class.

Freddie's Dead Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 JUST SAY NO TO SPILLER!!! I might say yes to Issac McSpillerick.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 He excels at nothing, which for some reason fits their draft profile at the position. 4 4 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 He somewhat reminds me of Fred Jackson with the ball in his hands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I thought speed was the priority on both sides of the ball 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 We already have two backs on the roster, 3 including Duke Johnson, who lack explosion or explosive speed. Get me someone like Hall or Walker who can take a 5 yard pass and go the distance. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Great vision and contact balance and reportedly high character. If the Bills grab him in the 2nd or 3rd, I'm not gonna complain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 The Miles Sanders comparison seems kind of strange. He reminds me more of a diet LenDale White. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whorlnut Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Spiller is interesting. He’s Joe Marino’s RB1. Marino thinks he would be a fantastic fit for the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 In no way am I advocating for Spiller, but he ran the 40 yard dash faster than both Moss and Singletary. Its a shame hes not a 4.4 guy because he has a complete 3 down skill set but lacks the speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEBills Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Dude fumbles a lot, 8 and 5/8 inch hands are probably a part of that. Better backs will be available later in the draft imo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking at his highlights, he seems to have good speed and explosiveness. He also seem to have to be a capable receiver out of the backfield. But he doesn't seem particularly adept at breaking tackles or eluding them. You compared him to McKissic... maybe he'll be a good third down back at the NFL level. I don't see him as a good NFL runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putin Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 CB & WR round 1 & 2 and Spiller in the 3rd I’m all for it !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
