1. C.J. Spiller (2010)

C.J. Spiller has been considered a workhorse by many but just hasn’t found the right system and situation yet. Most of his first two seasons in the league was spent splitting carries with Fred Jackson. Spiller flashed his agility and great play-making ability but was mostly misused by the Buffalo Bills’ coaching staff that seemed inept on offense most of the time.

Spiller when used correctly can be an explosive running back who can also catch passes out of the backfield. Spiller left the Bills as a free agent after an injury shortened 2014 season and signed a four-year, $16 million dollar contract with $9 million guaranteed with the New Orleans Saints.

Hopefully the Saints can properly utilize Spiller’s skill-set and make him a top ten running back once again.
