Spiller is averaging just about four yards per carry on the season (3.9) with one game left on the slate. He has 24 receptions, a respectable kick return average (23.3) and very good punt return average (13.1). Ball security was an issue during the season, but it’s just part of what the coaching staff intends to have him work on in the offseason.
“He’s got some things to learn about protection, some things to learn about reading, blocking schemes, things that he didn’t have to do a lot of in college,” said Gailey. “He has amazing talent, he has a great work ethic, he’s going to be a very good player for a long time, I’ve said that many times before. I just think he’s got to continue to learn and to get better. He’s going to be a very good player.”
