Jalen Tabor is another former five-star recruit to pop up on this list of top 2017 NFL Draft prospects. He’s been a starter since his freshman year and last year as a sophomore outplayed No. 11 overall pick and three-time All-SEC pick, Vernon Hargreaves III.

The biggest knock on Tabor isn’t his talent and ability on the football field, but his off-the-field mistakes that have resulted in him getting in the doghouse in Gainesville and suspended during his Gators career.

If Tabor can go the next year without any off-the-field incidents, he’ll be a sure-fire top-1o pick in next year’s draft and potentially the first corner off the board who could go earlier than his former Florida teammate.
