Lions’ Tabor teases playmaking ability, stays humble

Allen Park — It was just one play during Tuesday’s OTA practice, but it was a window into what the Detroit Lions envisioned when they drafted cornerback Teez Tabor in the second round.

As wide receiver Marvin Jones, the team’s best vertical threat, ran a deep route down the left sideline, quarterback Matthew Stafford heaved a bomb looking to connect for a big gain.

But Tabor was in position, camping out in Jones’ back pocket. As the trajectory culminated within reach of its intended target, the young corner leaped up, knocking Jones to the ground in the process, to secure his first interception of the offseason program.
