I think we tend to forgot about it because at that time we already had lost all hope on our season.
But he was around the ball very often, shed blocks pretty well and tackled consistently. Really not bad for a rookie!

Spaight showed some flashes but still made some mistakes IMO.

Vigil does seem to have good instincts and gets himself around the ball and is a sound tackler. So he does make for a good depth guy. But you have to hide him in coverage, especially against the more athletic TEs, because he's just too limited to ever be capable of keeping up with them.

Thus you never want him as anything more than depth. If you put him on the field, then your other MLB (Zach) must be the one matched up against the stud TEs like Ertz.

Spaight is faster and quicker than Vigil but seems to be a mental disaster. Hamilton gives you more athleticism and thus has a higher ceiling than both. Still wouldn't match him up against good TEs yet, but there's hope he could eventually do OK because the athletic ceiling is just higher.

Spaight's not long for the 53, and thank God. If he hasn't figured it out yet, he's just not going to.
