Player Analysis
The Good
- Jump Cuts – Has a lethal jump cut in his arsenal of moves to get through defenders and into open space.
- Blitz Identification – Locates his man in pass blocking situation and slides to meet him.
- Contact Balance – Low pad level allows him to bounce off contact. Rarely gets brought down by a single defender in the open field. Very physical running style.
- Lateral Agility – Shows innate ability to move laterally to get through holes and avoid defenders in the process.
The Bad
- Decisiveness – Needs to make a decision and go. Sits in the backfield too long on many occasions.
- Ball Security – Had 8 fumbles in his 3 seasons at Texas A&M.
- Passing Down Consistency – Show moments of brilliance in pass catching/blocking, but also has some real WTF moments.
- Athleticism – Really poor testing. Surprising given his film, but still something to keep in mind.
Overall Assessment
PRE-DRAFT: Isaiah Spiller was highly recruited out of high school and showcased exceptional skills during his tenure at Texas A&M. Many assumed he was the easy RB1 in this class until he totally flopped at the Combine and his pro day. While athletic testing cannot be completely ignored, I think giving it too much weight is also a mistake. Spiller has a lot of great qualities that make him primed to be a starting running back in the NFL. His contact balance and jump cuts stand out on tape and should make him a desirable Day 2 NFL draft pick. If you are hesitant on drafting Spiller, I encourage you to watch some game film because it may change your mind. I feel comfortable placing him in the top tier of RBs.
