Noah Spence

Spence came into his 2016 rookie campaign with plenty of expectations despite having slipped to the second round, as the consensus was that he possessed a first-round skill set. The speed rushing threat racked up 5.5 sacks, two passes defensed and three forced fumbles along with 22 tackles over 572 defensive snaps while serving as a rotation end. Anticipation is high with respect to what the second-year player might be able to accomplish with 16 NFL games under his belt, and Spence has reportedly dropped weight in order to boost his already impressive quickness. While Robert Ayers and William Gholston look set as the starting ends, defensive coordinator Mike Smith found plenty of ways to work Spence in with those players on the field last season, and the same is expected in the coming campaign.
