The Legion of Boom is still one of the toughest and most intimidating secondaries in the league. Still, the Seattle Seahawks should consider adding another cornerback to play opposite of Richard Sherman to take some pressure off of Jeremy Lane.

Clemson Tigers cornerback Cordrea Tankersley just looks like a future LOB member. He’s got a lanky 6’1”, 200-pound frame with the long limbs and strength to jam receivers in press coverage to knock them off of their routes.

Tankersley can be over aggressive at times and draw penalties, but with the right coaching and talent around him, there’s no doubt that the Clemson prospect could become a key piece of any NFL secondary. Playing for a team like Seattle could help him reach his potential sooner instead of later.
