Texas A&M RB Isaiah Spiller declares for 2022 NFL Draft

Texas A&M’s Isaiah Spiller is going pro. On Tuesday, the promising running back announced that he’ll forgo his remaining eligibility to enter the 2022 NFL Draft (Twitter link).

“Thank you to the 12th man,” said the Aggie in his statement. “You are the best fans in the nation and the atmosphere and energy you bring to every game is second to none. You’ve embraced me and my family [and], therefore, we are forever grateful. It has been an honor to take the field and represent you.”

Spiller has rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of his last two seasons. In total, he leaves campus with 2,993 yards on the ground and 25 rushing touchdowns, plus 74 grabs for 585 yards and one receiving TD. Currently, Dane Brugler of the The Athletic has him slotted as the second-best running back in this year’s class, behind only Kenneth Walker of Michigan State.

Spiller will be joined in the NFL by defensive tackle DeMarvin Leal, a likely first-round pick.
