He needed time and snaps to improve. True of almost any player early in career.

His first reps at Guard as a rookie looked promising even if he occasionally whiffed. He looked like a fighter and had an attitude in there.

My concern with Spriggs was that he looked lost and unsure back out at Tackle. Which is not how good tackles in the first two rounds normally look out of the gate. There wasn't anything solid to his game at the start. He struggled to find a pass set he could work with and was so concerned by speed he got beat with inside counter moves. So it looked like there wasn't a decent baseline to start with.

Now he seems much more comfortable mirroring speed rushes up the field and isn't as susceptible to inside moves. He needs to work on his hands, but he looks much more solid to me now after a couple full game starts. Its a good sign.

The other weird thing is that he and Jahri need mediation or something when deciding which direction to block. 3 times a game it looks like two different calls between them. The kid is young though and Gregg Williams was throwing all kinds of fronts out there to send blitzes from strange places. He'll catch on.
