Description

Ryan Spadola is a wide receiver for the Detroit Lions in the National Football League. He was signed by the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2013. Spadola has also been a member of the Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals and Atlanta Falcons. He played college football at Lehigh.

A prototypical possession receiver, Spadola has the physical tools to be a difference-maker for an NFL team. With strong hands, confidence over the middle, and precision route running, the former Mountain Hawk brings the well-rounded skill set to the table that the NFL teams need from their receiving corps.

Spadola had 232 career receptions for 3611 yards and 24 Touchdowns with the Mountain Hawks. In addition to the Jets and Colts, he also drew interest from the Giants, Buccaneers, Dolphins and Panthers, showcased his talents leading up to the draft at the Texas vs. the Nation All-Star Game and was one of approximately 300 draft hopefuls to participate in the annual NFL Combine in Indianapolis. He honed his skills at Brandon Marshall’s Fit Speed Athletic Performance in Florida before headlining Lehigh’s Pro Day in early March.

Ryan Spadola was a breakout star in 2013 training camp and preseason, helping the Jets defeat the Giants in Week 3 of the preseason, thanks to his three catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. The wide receiver also caught a 70-yard pass from Matt Simms to set up Billy Cundiff’s game-winning field goal in the game. Two days later, former New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan highlighted Spadola (whom he nicknamed “Spicoli”) and Simms during a film study session with reporters. Referring to Spadola, the Jets coach said: “All he does is show up and make plays.”
