Nelson Gregory Spruce (born December 5, 1992) is an American football wide receiver for the San Diego Fleet of the Alliance of American Football (AAF). He played college football at Colorado.

Early years

Spruce attended Westlake High School in Thousand Oaks, California.[1] He was rated a three-star recruit by both Rivals.com[2] and ESPN.com[3] and committed to play college football at Colorado.

College career

After redshirting his freshman season, Spruce led the Colorado Buffaloes in receptions (44) and receiving yards (446) his freshman season and proceeded to rack up 55 catches for 650 receiving yards his sophomore season. His breakthrough year came during his junior season in 2014 when he set 31 school records[4] as well as a Pac-12 record for receptions in a game with 19 against California.[5] As a senior in 2015, Spruce finished his college career by breaking the all-time Pac-12 receptions record in a game versus UCLA.[6]

During his time at Colorado, Spruce set or tied 43 school or conference records.[7]

Los Angeles Rams

After going undrafted in the 2016 NFL Draft, Spruce signed as an undrafted free agent with the Los Angeles Rams [9] The rookie made a big impression in his first preseason game, catching six passes for 51 yards and a touchdown to help the Rams defeat the Dallas Cowboys 28-24 in the team's first game back in Los Angeles after relocating from St. Louis.[10] However, Spruce suffered a knee injury on the game-winning play and was out for the remainder of the preseason. Spruce made the Rams' regular season roster, but remained on the inactive list. After suffering an additional calf injury, Spruce was placed on injured reserve on November 18, 2016, ending his rookie season without making his regular season NFL debut.[11]

Spruce stayed with the Rams through the offseason program, and caught six passes against Dallas in the preseason opener, but he saw little action in the following weeks as he had to compete for a roster spot with newly-arrived receivers Robert Woods, Sammy Watkins, Cooper Kupp, and Josh Reynolds.[12] On September 2, 2017, Spruce was waived/injured by the Rams and placed on injured reserve.[13] He was released by the team following an injury settlement two days later.

Chicago Bears

On October 16, 2017, Spruce was signed to the Chicago Bears' practice squad.[14]

Kansas City Chiefs

On March 30, 2018, Nelson was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs.[15] He was waived on May 8, 2018.[16]

Los Angeles Chargers

On May 14, 2018, Spruce signed with the Los Angeles Chargers.[17] He was waived on September 1, 2018.[18]

San Diego Fleet

On September 28, 2018, Spruce signed with the San Diego Fleet of the new Alliance of American Football.[19]
