Eastern Kentucky’s Noah Spence is a great player, but trouble off the field could cost him in the 2016 NFL Draft.
The defensive end failed two drug tests at Ohio State, even seeking treatment for addiction.
After transferring to Eastern Kentucky, Spence’s speed and intelligence helped him rack up 11.5 sacks and 63 tackles.
NFL.com scouts say his endurance is impressive, but that he needs more work on his attack strength.
Despite his drug issues, analysts expect a team to draft Spence in Rounds 1 or 2.
