Considered one of the all-time great Buckeyes, Spielman was named a consensus All-American in 1986 and 1987. As a senior during the latter year, he was named the Chic Harley Award recipient by the Touchdown Club of Columbus, which recognized him as the top collegiate football player in the nation, and also won the Vic Lombardi Trophy, honoring his on-field prowess as well as his character and leadership qualities. In 2009, Spielman was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

He was also named the Lions’ defensive MVP in 1993 and 1994. During his time in Detroit, he failed to record less than 125 tackles just once.

In total during his time in the Motor City, Spielman recorded a franchise record 1,020 tackles.
Shortly after his playing days ended, Spielman launched a successful career in broadcasting, working as a college football analyst for 15 years with ESPN before joining the FOX Sports as an NFL analyst in 2016.
