Not surprisingly, one of the top cornerbacks in the country has decided to play his football wares at the next level.
In a lengthy letter posted on the website The Players’ Tribune, Jalen “Teez” Tabor confirmed that he will be leaving Florida in order to make himself available for the April NFL draft. The true junior is viewed as a lock to be a first-round pick in the upcoming draft and could be one of the first if not the first corner selected, making this decision a no-brainer.
“The University of Florida has changed my life. And I don’t mean that in the cliché way. I mean every single syllable of it,” Tabor wrote. “Every day, I’m walking around campus thinking this is some sort of dream. I am fully aware that I would have never gotten this far on my own, and I’m thankful to everybody who helped me get here.”Im not saying goodbye …https://t.co/NENxtDkQZe
