The Chicago Bears selected Spellman in the 22nd round of the 1992 NFL Draft. Spellman entered the league as a rookie at 20 years old. Spellman was the right defensive end backup to future Hall of Famer Richard Dent. He made 30 tackles and 4 sacks (4th on the team), as well as one pass defensed. He had 28 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 1993.
Spellman started taking medication and successfully managed his disorder during his time with the Cowboys and Lions. However, after his NFL career ended, Spellman stopped taking his medication and again ran into problems with the law. Most notably, he had a manic episode on July 23, 2002 in which he disrupted a flight from Cincinnati to Philadelphia. Spellman initially suggested that the flight was going to crash, then became verbally abusive to other passengers and threatened members of the flight crew. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing. Spellman was released, but then damaged property at his brother’s home and was taken to a psychiatric hospital. He was later arrested on charges of interference with a flight crew. Although doctors confirmed that he had bipolar disorder, Spellman was determined to be legally sane and spent 18 months in federal prison.
On October 18, 2005, he was signed by the Las Vegas Gladiators of the Arena Football League, after being out of football for 4 years. He played middle guard in the defense.
