Noah Spence failed multiple Nathan MacKinnon Authentic Jersey drug tests, was booted from the Big Ten, and forced to finish his college career at Eastern Kentucky.Yet he says NFL teams wont be taking a risk by drafting him."Not at all," he said.Spence said he tested positive for ecstasy and was using the drug when he went out to have a good time. He didnt need it to cope with anxiety or pressure. He didnt need it to escape any problems. He just wanted to party.But thats over now, he said Friday at the NFL combine. He has passed weekly drug tests since he left Ohio State for EKU and a night out for him now is much different than it was when he was in Columbus, Ohio."There were people I cant hang with," Spence said. "I had to be more in myself and stay away from the party scene. Every time I did [ecstasy], it was me going out and partying."I spend a lot more time by myself. Ive got a girlfriend now. I chill, go to the movies and stuff like that. I dont do much partying nowadays."http://www.officiallightningstore.com/Womens_Youth_Martin_St_Louis_Jersey Despite what Spence says, he is a risk. He is arguably the most talented pass-rusher in the draft, and on that alone he should be a top-10 pick. NFL teams are going to be leery of his off-field troubles. There is too much money -- and a few jobs -- at stake, so teams will thoroughly investigate Spence throughout the pre-draft process.Some teams will be convinced that Spences troubles are indeed behind him. Others will take him off their board.The Jaguars, who have the fifth overall pick, have not made a determination yet. Theres still plenty of time to investigate, but one factor that wont go into their decision about Spence is being burned before. The Jaguars have a history of first-round picks flaming out because of substance-abuse issues, with the latest being receiver Justin Blackmon."Each case is different," Caldwell said. "We put a premium on character and highly intelligent guys that are tough and are well-rounded individuals. Were not going to be perfect and the kids arent going to be perfect either. Theyre 21-, 22-year-old kids and its our job to help develop them, not only on the field but off.http://www.authenticpanthersstore.com/authentic-12-jimmy-hayes-jersey.html "Each issue is different. We have a threshold of things that are acceptable and we have a threshold of things that arent. You just weigh that into it."Its easy to understand why the Jaguars may not be willing to assume much risk. Blackmon has been suspended indefinitely since the mid-point of the 2013 season because of multiple failed drug tests and Caldwell said in August that he believes Blackmons career is likely over.Three other Jaguars first-round picks have been busts because of substance-abuse problems: receiver R. Jay Soward, receiver Reggie Williams, and receiver Matt Jones.However, Spence says his situation is different."It was more me going to parties and just doing it while I was at parties," Spence said. "It was never really an addiction."Spence isnt wasting time worrying about how that will impact his draft position.http://www.officialcanadiensteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Maurice_Richard_Jersey "I dont have any expectations," he said. "I feel blessed to be in this situation. I didnt think I would be here so wherever I go is fine with me."
