Steelers Select Miami (FL.) LB Sean Spence (Rd.3, No. 86)

With the 86th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Steelers select Sean Spence, OLB (Miami (Fla.)). Spence has been a bright spot and a standout player on a rather uninspired Miami defense. He was a four-year starter at Miami, and although undersized he makes up for this deficiency through speed, instincts and overall athletic ability. He is a great defender on outside runs, as he can effortlessly run down his fastest opponents. He is stellar in coverage, and he can blanket tight ends and tackle from various angles. He makes quick decisions and executes on them.

Not sure how I'm feeling on this.

 

Could he be moved to safety?

 

Keith Butler says Spence is a mack LB and will play special teams and provide depth behind Timmons.

 

Can't we get depth starting in the 4th... let's never replace Casey Hampton..

 

I'm starting to regret not taking Ta'amu there...

 

NLB is an underrated position. Hard to get a hold of LB's that can cover TEs
