2017 NFL Draft: Top 25 Big Board after Week 11
By Tyler Brooke
Despite a less than stellar offense, the Florida Gators are 7-2 in large part due to their defense, which is littered with NFL talent. Jalen “Teez” Tabor might not even be the best cornerback on his team, but that doesn’t mean he won’t still be a first-round pick in April.
Tabor has been a tough player for opposing quarterbacks to throw at, with the Florida Gators junior already picking up four interceptions this season, including one he took back for a touchdown.
With the size at 6’0” and 201 pounds to play on the outside, Tabor has a great combination of size and aggressiveness that makes it tough for receivers to create separation on him. He tends to anticipate throws fairly often, and while that can sometimes hurt him, his instincts allow him to usually make the right play.
Teez will need to work on making plays in the open field against the ball carrier, but he’s already a polished cornerback who will benefit from a man coverage scheme.
