The Washington Commanders are interested in running backs in the 2022 NFL draft. Washington brought in Iowa State’s Breece Hall, and Michigan State’s Kenneth Walker III for top-30 visits ahead of the draft.
Now, you can add another top running back prospect to that list. According to Ben Standig of The Athletic, Texas A&M running back Isaiah Spiller recently visited Washington.
The 6-foot-1, 215-pound Spiller is only 20 years old and rushed for over 1,000 yards in two of his three seasons in College Station. Spiller was limited at the combine but did participate in Texas A&M’s pro day, where he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.63 seconds.
Commanders' today hosted Texas A&M RB Isaiah Spiller and Central Michigan OL Luke Goedeke, per source. Washington using several "30" visits on backs and linemen. Both players here are potential Day 2 picks.

While the 40 time may have disappointed some teams, Spiller’s film is indicative of an NFL lead back. Spiller is big and elusive and shows excellent patience.
Most consider Spiller a day-two pick, meaning he will go somewhere in the second or third round. The Commanders do not currently have a third-round pick due to the Carson Wentz trade, but would it consider such a premium pick on a running back if Washington moves back in either of the first two rounds to land a third-round pick? After all, the Commanders still have Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic.
Spiller rushed for 2,993 yards in three seasons in college. He also showed some ability as a receiver, finishing his career with 74 receptions.
