Tyjae Spears News
Tyjae Spears drafted by Tennessee · Apr 29, 2023
The Tennessee Titans selected Tulane running back Tyjae Spears in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Now this is interesting. Spears has long been one of our favorite sleepers and it looks as if he'll spend at least year one learning behind Derrick Henry. He is a highly productive player who has some legitimate size concerns but it's hard to argue his production. He needs to prove he's healthy but there's some real intrigue here around pick #20 in rookie drafts this Spring. Remember, this is a player who posted 1,581 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns on 6.9 yards per carry last season.
Tyjae Spears gains weight · Feb 9, 2023
Tulane running back Tyjae Spears measured in at 5'9 1/2" and 204 lbs. at the Senior Bowl
Spears helped himself specifically with his weight, adding nearly 10 pounds from his officially listed collegiate weight. On the downside, his height is slightly less than list, but this isn't a large deduction. Also notable were his 10" hands. Size had been a significant concern with Spears but now should be limited. The junior runner produced 41 receptions over his past two season as well, perhaps setting the rookie up for a nice rise as we near the NFL Combine. He's a rising as a rookie prospect and is now listed as DLF's rookie RB13 and the R29 overall.
Tyjae Spears receiving buzz · Feb 3, 2023
Rookie running back Tyjae Spears was mentioned as a player who is getting buzz at Senior Bowl practice
Every year, social media darlings begin to percolate from players not near the top of rankings and Spears is trending as an early favorite in this regard. The undersized (5'10/195) Tulane runner has a wide range of weight listings but impressed in his junior season, producing 1,581 yards and 19 touchdowns across 229 carries while also adding 22 receptions and two additional touchdowns. Spears doesn't profile as a three-down option at the next level but possesses first-step quickness, acceleration and long speed with enough physicality to be a day-three option for teams needing additional dynamic at the position. In his final collegiate game in the Cotton Bowl vs. USC, he rushed for 205 yards and four touchdowns on 17 carries. Spears possesses size similar to Austin Ekeler, so anything is possible, and he's going to remain a popular upside selection in dynasty rookie drafts, potentially appearing in the late-second round. He's listed as DLF's rookie RB14 and our R32 overall. His Combine weigh-in will be closely watched.

comment As much of a unicorn as he is, Derrick Henry cannot play forever. In fact, it is fair to wonder how much time he has left given his age and workload. Tyjae Spears does not profile as a true lead back but he can be a major part of a backfield and it may happen sooner rather than later. |
