Five pass rushing prospects that would make the Broncos defense entirely unfair

2. Noah Spence (Junior)

PROJECTED ROUND: 1st/2nd     HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6-2/251 LBS

CAREER NUMBERS: 125 total tackles; 15 tackles for a loss; 19.5 sacks; 1 forced fumble

Skill? Check. Upside? Check. Character concerns? Double check.

Noah Spence has just about everything you’d want in a pass rusher, but there’s no denying he’s a risk. As CBS Sports details, “Spence’s documented history with an addiction to Ecstacy led to his being banned by the Big Ten permanently and a stint in a drug rehabilitation program.”

That’s not exactly a good thing.

Spence did transfer to Eastern Kentucky, though, and he dominated. But, then again, it’s not as if he’s playing against elite talent in the Ohio Valley Conference.

This is a guy who has top-15 talent, and if the Broncos were able to get him on the right track, much like they have with Von Miller and Shane Ray, he could provide an immediate spark in Denver.
