16. . DE. Eastern Kentucky. Noah Spence. 19. player

Noah Spence is a top-10 talent trapped in a second round pick’s backstory.  The result is splitting the difference at 19th overall to the Buffalo Bills and head coach Rex Ryan.

We all know Ryan is no stranger to controversy and doesn’t shy away from players with a checkered past, especially if he feels like it’ll benefit him and his team.

Spence is determined to show everyone his past transgressions were youthful mistakes, not lifestyle flaws.  Ryan will give him that opportunity, and quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Ryan Tannehill, and presumably Ryan Fitzpatrick better be on the lookout.
