Florida Gators cornerback Jalen “Teez” Tabor isn’t even the best cornerback on his team. Having said that, Tabor is still definitely a first-round caliber defensive back given everything he’s done this season.

Tabor has good size for a cornerback, coming in at 6’0” and 201 pounds. His speed and aggressiveness allow him to jam receivers at the line and then shadow them and anticipate their routes. His instincts allow him to correctly guess routes pretty consistently, but that can occasionally backfire and allow him to get burned deep.

Guess work can backfire more often in the NFL, but the skills and instincts are good enough from Tabor for teams to look at him in the first round.
