In one of several enthralling offseason modifications, the New Orleans Saints were able to acquire an undeniable talent in running back C.J. Spiller.
A man defined by upside, Spiller certainly has the potential to come in and add a tremendous boost to an already high-powered offense. While Drew Brees and company still finished atop of the NFL stat sheet, that unit was indeed missing a spark without Darren Sproles, and it showed with a lack of unpredictability.
Sure, fan-favorite Pierre Thomas could handle pass-catching duties out of the backfield, but his athleticism did not at all match up with the likes of a Sproles or Reggie Bush.
