Ourlads Scouting Services LLC take on C.J. Spiller:
A bolt of lightning type runner that is a threat to score as a receiver, ball carrier, and return specialist. For all practical purposes, will be a four year starter after the 2009 season. His first three years he rotated with Cleveland draft choice James Davis. Plays in a one-back spread offense. Prior to this fall he is the all-time, all purpose yards leader at Clemson. With 921 yards, he will be the most productive Atlantic Coast conference performer in all purpose yards. This is a football player that is also a track All-American. He displays good vision and cut back ability. Productive run skills both inside and on the perimeter. Displays rare quickness to make the first tackler miss. Quick reactions to make positive yards on a poorly blocked play. Has the hands to catch all pass routes with good eye-hand coordination. A clutch player that can make a play in crucial situations. As a kickoff return specialist he shows an instant burst and acceleration. As a punt returner he can take one step and go, or uses his stop and go moves to make defenders miss. Finishes his runs with strength and determination. Academic All-ACC.
