He's not yet ready for the NFL but he has potential, so they're stashing him on IR.

Yeah maybe. But if he wasn't ready then why did he make the cut?

This is a guess on my part: I think that Spaight is a person who made himself a draftable player through dedication to hard work and extensive film study. He is not particularly fast, yet he always seemed to be in right place in his college film that I saw. He's a blue collar player and the Skins have got to love that. I'm thinking that his work ethic and potential made it hard for them to cut him. We need to remember that we're building a team and more time and effort needs to go into player development in order to build depth. With that in mind, SM is going to use every trick in the book to stash players. BTW, Beathard and Gibbs were masters at that.

I think he needs to know our defense inside and out, study NFL offenses, and build up his body to succeed in the NFL. He might even be able to improve his speed and quickness a little. Let's hope he'll be ready to rock 'n roll next season.

Well your reasoning makes a lot more sense then being put on IR at beginning of yr for a concussion

ELI5 version: He's not ready but they don't want to give him up.

I watched this kid play while here at Arkansas and he works hard and has a great motor. I will enjoy watching him play for the skins in the coming years.

To avoid putting him on the PS. On IR, he can stay on the squad. Just a guess. Then again, maybe his concussion is that bad?? You never can tell with this crap to be honest.
