2012 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Sean Spence, OLB, Miami
Spence followed up his impressive freshman campaign with what is best described as a sophomore slump. Battling injuries and missing three games, Spence tallied just 36 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, and three sacks. Nonetheless, the linebacker was on fire over the past two seasons. He finished fifth in the ACC with 111 tackles and led the team with 16 tackles for loss. As a senior in 2011, Spence led the Hurricanes with 54 solo tackles, 106 total tackles, and 14 tackles for loss.
The Miami, FL native is generously listed at 6'0'', but there are questions about that. He has good speed (4.5s in the 40-yard dash with a fastest time of 4.46)and impressive instincts and he always seems to be around the ball. With his size and ability in coverage, Spence could even fit in as a strong safety in some NFL schemes. Look for Spence to be a third-round selection in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Even though Spence is a great linebacker and a projected 3rd rounder, I see him falling because of other players at his position. I believe that there are many players who fall in the draft and many people question why, and I think Spence is one of those players.
