3. Isaiah Spiller

One of the top running backs in the country and the SEC, Isaiah Spiller is set to have a huge season for Texas A&M football in 2021.

Spiller is going to need to be relied upon for the Aggies because they are breaking in a new quarterback and there is not a proven threat on the outside at the receiver position.

Spiller finished 2020 with 188 carries for over 1,000 yards and averaged over 5.5 yards per carry. I don’t think it is crazy to think that Spiller could approach 1,500 yards and double-digit touchdowns because of the expected workload he will have to handle.

It is tough to project where Spiller could land exactly in the draft because of the position that he plays.

Running backs are not valued very much in the NFL and it is tough to get picked in the first round if you are a running back, unless you are a generational talent and I don’t think Spiller is that. Right now, I think it is safe to assume that Spiller will be a day two pick, but that could change with a huge season.
