Teez Tabor

CB, Florida

There are only two teams standing as we write this mock draft, and one happens to be the Atlanta Falcons. During the 2016 NFL season, the Falcons have been breathtaking on offense, as Matt Ryan has put together an MVP-caliber season under center. Things will be a lot different next year, as offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan heads to San Francisco to take over at the team’s head coach, so the time is now for Ryan to capture his first ring.

While nobody in the organization is looking past Sunday, their scouts most definitely are getting ready for the NFL Draft in April. Once the clock strikes zero on Super Sunday, the scouts will be going crazy getting their lists together for the draft. One area of need has to be at cornerback, where a certain Florida Gator would fit perfectly in the red and black.

Teez Tabor is an incredible athlete at the cornerback position for the Gators, and has helped the team make it to the SEC Finals despite having little talent on the offensive side of the ball. He is going to be a playmaker at the next level, and he has the innate ability to make the correct jump on the ball. Tabor also has very good hands for defensive back, and the Falcons could certainly use the help in a secondary that has shown itself to be beatable on occasion this season.
