The Legion of Boom is still one of the most intimidating secondaries in the NFL. However, the Seattle Seahawks could still use some more depth at the cornerback position outside of Richard Sherman and Jeremy Lane.

Clemson’s Cordrea Tankersley looks like a future Legion of Boom member just waiting for his chance to hear his name called in April. At 6’1” and 200 pounds, Tankersley has excellent size and length that allows him to jam receivers at the line of scrimmage. When playing off man coverage, the Clemson prospect still moves well enough to mirror his receiver.

If the Seahawks drafted Tankersley, they could move Lane into the slot and allow him to develop into a dangerous corner. Just imagine how much he could learn from a guy like Sherman during his rookie season.
