C.J. Spiller, the talented running back out of Clemson, spent his early time with the Bills as a return specialist and backup to veterans Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson, but in his third season in 2012 he took advantage of his time to shine. That year, Spiller totaled 1,244 rushing yards while averaging over 6 yards per carry, and also added over 450 receiving yards. Family trauma and injuries severely hampered his success over the next two seasons in Buffalo, and despite a promising second chance with the Saints in 2015, Spiller couldn’t find a way to stay on the roster.
