[hoosierwhodey 1,256]

The big guy needs his own thread as he will likely be a high draft pick. Found this article online.

Very excited for Mr. Spriggs and where he goes in the draft. Good exposure for the Hoosier program!

NFL combine is Feb. 23 - 29.

 

‏@BrodyMillerIDS: Jason Spriggs has a 5.51 grade, which is considered a rating of someone who has a "chance to become NFL starter" #iufb

That's insane. The latest I've seen Spriggs projected is 10 picks into the second and he's a "chance to become" while Howard is projected in the late rounds where everyone grabs random RBs and he is an instant starter?

 

Those grades are confusing.

No clue where that number came from, but Howard's is even better. I don't follow draft stuff to much. We might have to ask Brody Miller. Thanks for the links.

I read somewhere ( I will have to find it) spriggs may go early first round

[lucel15 3,052]

Can't find it. It was from a senior bowl writer. He talked to some nfl scouts and an AFC north team said he could be taken early first round..... So Ravens maybe idk

‏@NEPD_Loyko: Quick Draft Nugget: After talking with a scout it seems #IU OT Jason Spriggs has definitely moved into 1st Round mix after the Senior Bowl.

[iuswingman 1,940]

why can't spriggs drop to the colts?

 

 

in that vein....spriggs stinks.  he's overhyped blah blah :)

I admit to not understanding everything, but I think the running back has a lot to do with the "life expectancy"  Every team wants a stud running back, but I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the average running back lasts only 3 years in the NFL.  Teams do not want to draft them really high, because of the salary the first couple of years, and they are injured so much, that there is no bang for the buck. 

I know there are exceptions to every rule, but I think that is the biggest difference.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

We should be seeing some updates from the #NFLCombine.

I selfishly want Spriggs to drop to the second so the Niners can pick him up there. We draft too early to take him in the first, but he'd fit in perfectly with Chip's offense. He was LT at Indiana though right? He'd have to switch to RT to start.

‏@HoosierFootball: Catch #iufb players on the NFL Network starting tomorrow with Jason Spriggs (10:45) and Jordan Howard (12:45). 

[ccgeneral 38,084]

‏@HoosierFootball: Jason Spriggs 31 reps on the 225-pound bench ranked 4th among offensive linemen at the #NFLCombine. #iufb

[ThompsonHoosier 3,413]

@nfldraftupdate: Indiana OT Jason Spriggs ran an unofficial 4.92 (fastest so far) with a 1.72 split. Also had the longest broad jump at 9'7". Crazy athletic.

[mdn82 25,456]

Spriggs is making money today!

[ccgeneral 38,084]

‏@SBNationNFL: The official 40-yard dash times are in for the offensive linemen and it was Indiana’s Jason Spriggs leading the way. (4.94)  http://www.sbnation.com/nfl-mock-draft/2016/2/26/11119498/nfl-combine-results-2016-offensive-line-40-yard-dash  :good:

 

40 - 1st

Broad jump - 1st

Vertical - 3rd

Bench press - 4th
