Spiller gets belated birthday gift: Contract |NFL jeresys---i

As belated birthday presents go, Buffalo Bills rookie first-round pick C.J. Spiller(who’s NFL jersey in top 10) had no trouble waiting an extra day to get the one gift he really wanted: A signed NFL contract.

A day after turning 23, the running back was excited to arrive at training camp Friday to sign a five-year deal that has the potential to be worth $37 million.

“It’s something that I’ll always remember,” Spiller said, noting he learned the deal had been agreed to on Thursday, shortly after he had a birthday lunch with his family in Lake Butler, Fla. “Whatever day, I would have always remembered it. But it’s always special to do it on your birthday.”

A person familiar with the contract told The Associated Press about the terms of the deal, saying it includes just under $21 million in guaranteed money. The contract is also filled with incentives to take into account Spiller’s versatility as a rusher, receiver and returner.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Bills don’t release contract terms.

Spiller wasted little time once arriving at the team’s training camp complex in suburban Rochester. He headed directly to attend team meetings before taking the field for the Bills’ evening practice.

Selected ninth overall out of Clemson, Spiller has some catching up to do after missing 11 practices since camp opened July 29. He was also one of the final NFL first-round draft picks to sign this summer.

“Any time you miss any day, that’s one day you can’t get better,” Spiller said. “Of course you miss that, but at the same time, you understand that you’ve got to get the business done first before you get on the field. And I’m glad I was able to get it done so I can get out there.”

As for becoming a rich man, Spiller shrugged that aside.

“That’s on the back-burner now,” he said. “Now my mind is focused on coming out here tonight and trying to get better.”

Because of his versatility, Spiller has drawn comparisons to Reggie Bushof the New Orleans Saints. Spiller and Bush are the only two players to finish their college careers with 3,000 yards rushing, 1,500 yards in kickoff returns, 1,000 yards receiving and 500 yards in punt returns.
