Cover-3 match with press man principles emphasizing long, athletic boundary corners.
Immediate special teams contributor with the upside to develop into a starting press-man outside cornerback by his second season.
Pure zone defenses that rely on off-man technique and quick change of direction from their corners.
Tankersley's length and straight-line speed are assets in a scheme that prioritizes press coverage and challenging receivers at the line of scrimmage.
Selected #97 overall in Round 3 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Miami Dolphins out of Clemson.
