    So Spiller looks to me.....

    Like a faster version of Thurman Thomas.

    http://www.prodraftparty.com/ #28 the big question is can he be a feature back in the NFL?


    His ability to get to top speed is incredible in the videos I have watched.

    Spiller 5-10 5/8 196lbs
    Thomas 5-11 200lbs

    This is really the first time I have looked at videos of him and his burst is off the charts, not to mention his elite top end speed. It is very unusual to have that combination. I am very excited to see him on Friday night.

    Yeah, I wonder how fast Thurman was before he got injured in College. Of coure if he hadn't been injured the Bills would not have had a chance to draft him.

      Fast enough to keep Barry on the bench (:

        THIS IS MY FIRST POST!

        Thurman looked thicker to me. We may be surprised at how much of a scat back he really is.

            Spiller reminds me of Barry Sanders from the iota I've seen of him.

                  Spiller reminds me of Eric Metcalf.

                  A small scatback who can make big plays and make defenders miss in open space.

                    This is ridiculous. Metcalf was more Roscoe Parrish size.

                      He's a Browns fan.

                            The league as a whole was smaller then, it was 20 years ago. Spiller is the same type of running back that Eric Metcalf was at Texas.

                            By the way Metcalf was 5'10" 190.

                            What's Spiller? 5'11" 195

                            By the way Reggie Bush is bigger than both...6' 205

                              Any comparison between Thomas and Spiller is going to begin and end with how CJ runs between the tackles and absorbs hits.
