Against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night, Buffalo Bills first-round running back C.J. Spiller showed why he was worth the ninth overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Getting the starting nod with Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch sidelined by injuries, Spiller carried the ball 11 times for 54 yards, but it was his dazzling 31-yard touchdown run in the first quarter that provided a glimpse of his game-breaking potential.

"It felt good," Spiller said of his touchdown run. "The offensive line did a great job blocking up front. Coming in, we knew how they were going to play. We knew they were a fast defense and they were going to over-run a couple of our plays. I just did a great job of reading my keys and made a couple of guys miss and just tried to get in there."

The Bills scored just six touchdowns on the ground in 2009, with the longest coming from 31 yards out...by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Spiller was one of the last members of the 2010 draft class to sign his contract, missing about a week of training camp. Here's a quick look at his contract details, according to a source with access to NFLPA documents:

Signing Bonus: $2 million
Roster Bonus: $1.471 million (2010)
Option Bonus: $9.172 million (2011)

2012: $852,917

Spiller has $250,000 workout bonuses from 2011-14, and can increase his 2013 base salary by as much as $1.572 million. Spiller's 2014 base salary can increase by as much as $11.25 million, though much of that is tied to Spiller earning multiple NFL and Super Bowl MVP awards, as well as multiple 2,000-yard rushing seasons.
