Spin superposition--am I understanding things right?

Hi,
I am going to sound ridiculous, but I was watching an online lecture on QM and the professor mentioned spins can be in superposition (as in a particle's spin can be in a superposition between different spins--if I heard right). I'm confused as I thought spins were set, inherent properties of specific particles. I'm sure this is just a silly mix up on my part, but clarification would be appreciated. Thanks!

He probably meant "the spin orientation can be in a superposition ...".
