C.J. Spiller feeling healthy, hopes to return kickoffs for New Orleans Saints

C.J. Spiller's NFL career hasn't gone quite how many people expected.

Coming out of Clemson in 2010, Spiller was an electrifying playmaker whose ability to change a game as a runner, receiver and returner convinced the Buffalo Bills to take him ninth overall in the first round.

Spiller has had some impressive peaks. He averaged 6 yards per carry and 10.7 yards per reception in 2012, numbers that culminated in 1,244 rushing yards and 459 receiving yards.

But fumbles — 18 in his career — and injuries have been a bugaboo at times, which is part of the reason he's now with the New Orleans Saints.
