He played at Clemson with Spiller? He looks like a natural athlete, real fluid. He makes everything look easy, like he's bored out of his damn mind running a 4.28 lol

The 2 fastest players at the combine are from Clemson: Spiller and Ford! we should try to get one of the 2!

I like him a lot for the return game. If we can get him in the 2nd to vastly improve the return game I would be ok with that. I don't believe it's realistic to say 3rd round at this point. He's not going to go there with a 4.28. 2nd round at least.

CJ Spiller is the 4th fastest player so far, Jahvid Best ran faster than Spiller as did Hollday from LSU

4.35 - Best
4.37 - Spiller

That is not statistically significant. If they line up and run 40 yards it's a virtual tie. If one slips out or doesn't get a great start that can easily account for the 2 one hundreths.

he wont be there at rd 5, not with the 40 he'll run. not saying he is him but teams are gonna try to look for the next desean jackson, small, quick fast as hell wr who just makes everyone around slow and can hurt you in many aspects of the gm

Jackson looked much better on game tape as a WR compared to Ford.

Exactly. Ford is a track guy, and is NOT a great return guy. Renaldo Nehemiah was faster than any of these guys, but he wasn't a good football player. Jacoby Ford is an OK WR, but earliest I would pick him is rd 3. There are several better return guys than Ford.

True, they are about equal players.... but you can get Best in Rd 2, so why pick Spiller in rd 1?

Just ran a 4.28 OFFICAL! Talk about some solid value.

1. We have a KR/PR guy

2. Deep threat out of the slot.

3. Can work out of wild cat and back field (kind of Percy Harvin like)

4. We might be able to snag him in the 3rd.

DO IT!

~ More production.
~ More healthy by far.

this year he only averaged 5.2 yards per punt return and 18.4 yards per KO return (not very good).

But the price will likely be very much higher for Spiller.

More production + more healthy = higher price.

That's the system. And the system is fair.

Spiller ran in the 4.2's twice, I don't buy that 4.38 bulls**t. He looked and is faster then 4.38.

1st thing we should dump brandon jones second i like jacoby ford he is a track but with football player skills he ran a 4.28 forty yard dash but he did not get chance to punt or kick return on the same team a cj spiller we should draft him late rounds
