The ideal system for Tabor is a Cover-3 dominant scheme, where his instincts and ball skills can be maximized in a largely zone-based approach.
Year 1: Rotational outside corner, primarily in zone coverage; Ceiling: long-term starter as a boundary corner in a Cover 2/3 heavy defense.
Man-heavy schemes that demand elite recovery speed and agility, exposing his athletic limitations.
Tabor is best suited for a defense that prioritizes instinctual, ball-hawking play over pure athleticism, allowing him to thrive in a deep zone role rather than consistently covering receivers in isolation.
Selected #53 overall in Round 2 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Detroit Lions out of Florida.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
