Teez Tabor

[Nv_Hawks]

Looks like a decent player we just picked up from Falcons PS. He had solid career at Florida. https://www.thefalcoholic.com/2022/...oach-falcons-db-teez-tabor-off-practice-squad

Tabor played well this summer and has the ability to play both cornerback and safety, and his addition to the practice squad gave Atlanta a nice safety net if injuries cropped up in the secondary. Now he’ll head to Seattle and will likely have a fairly significant role out of the gate, which means Tabor will be seeing his former team in Week 3 when the Falcons swing up to Seattle to play the Seahawks. Not only are the Falcons losing him, in other words, but they’ll have to face him very soon.

We did what?!

The former 2nd round pick has bounced around, Lions, 9ers, Bears, Falcons a bit.
His experience & skillset as a CB/S seems like perfect timing and fit after the Adams injury.
Tabor will get a chance to elevate and advance his football career here in Seattle.

We are using him for intel on Atlanta

We poached him off the taxi squad, so he'll be on the 53 for the next few weeks anyway.

Cool... I liked him coming out of college. Not overly fast or strong, but seemed to find the ball pretty well. I like him more as a safety than a corner. Hope he can tackle.

The DB whisperer can work his magic again!

NFL Comparison Darius Slay (Lance Zierlein)

Before his junior year, Tabor asked to be addressed by his nickname "Teez." But he certainly doesn't tease scouts with his talent; he puts it on the field every game. The Washington, D.C. Mr. Football award winner in 2013 started five games the following season, garnering Freshman All-American honors (eight pass break-ups). Tabor was a first-team All-SEC pick the next season after intercepting four passes (breaking up 14 others) and scoring on two of them. He repeated the SEC honors as a junior this fall, as well as receiving third-team All-American accolades from the Associated Press (four interceptions, six pass break-ups) while teaming up with Quincy Wilson as one of the top corner duos in the country.

Overview
Tabor has terrific size and quickness, but it will be interesting to see how he times in the forty. While he has some lapses in judgement and awareness in coverage, his nine career interceptions didn't happen by accident. He is a pure cover corner with the ability to pattern match around the field, but don't expect him to be a plus tackler in run support. He has the traits of a first-round cornerback, but some teams may be put off by some of his annoyances.

I have the feeling we're going to like him as a Seahawk, especially later in the season as he gains additional knowledge here.
