Former Ohio State defensive standout Noah Spence shined in the second chance he got at Eastern Kentucky. The Ravens, who many have Joey Bosa mock drafted to, could take Spence with the sixth overall pick. Spence has unbelievable potential.

So you’re probably wondering why Spence ended up at Eastern Kentucky. Spence has some red flags as failed drug tests got him booted from the Buckeyes.
Not surprisingly Spence dominated at Eastern Kentucky. The former five star recruit clearly has the talent to explode on to the NFL scene. Explode, that’s the key word. There is no more explosive prospect than Spence.
If the Ravens are going to go pass rusher in the first round, they will have to choose between Spence and Joey Bosa. The two are very good pass rushers but they are completely different players.
Bosa is built more like a defensive end. He looks more like J.J. Watt than Terrell Suggs. Bosa relies heavily on his bryte strength, leaning heavily on his impeccable bull rush. Bosa is the best of both worlds, power and quickness but his pass rush menu is lacking.
Spence is a freak and I mean that as a compliment. When you look at Spence you see a guy like Von Miller or Elvis Dumervil. He flies off the snap of the ball. His speed is comparable to Miller’s and it may even be better.
Don’t sleep on Noah Spence. He could easily be a top 10 pick in the draft. He could easily be just what the Ravens defense needs.
