Pro
2009 outlook: Spitz (6-3, 307) has been moved from right guard, where he made 29 of his 41 career starts, to center. Spitz has played well at center in the past. The Packers averaged about 140 rushing yards in five games last year when he either started or played the bulk of the snaps at center. He’ll challenge incumbent Scott Wells, who started the final 13 games last season but had to leave two of them early. Spitz, on the other hand, started all 16 games at three positions and played every snap. The hope is Spitz will be better when focusing on only one position. With Wells limited to being a spectator through the offseason, Spitz took all of the reps with the No. 1 offense. He enters training camp as the favorite to win the job, but if Wells is healthy, this could be quite a battle.
2007: Played in 14 of 16 regular season games with 12 starts, and started both playoff games at right guard. During the regular season, he started seven games at right guard, three at center for the injured Scott Wells, and two at left guard. Dealt with a calf injury early in the season, causing him to not play in two games.
2006: Played in 14 games with 13 starts, and was inactive for two games. ... Began the season by sustaining a deep thigh bruise to his left leg, causing him to miss the next two games. ... Returned and reclaimed his starting spot at right guard. ... Opponents accepted three penalties (two false starts and one holding) against him and he gave up 2 ½ sacks. ... The second of two third round selections (75th overall) by the Packers in the 2006 NFL draft. |
