6. Cordrea Tankersley will hold his own

We may not know who the second corner back is, but we certainly know who the number-one guy is: Cordrea Tankersley.

Tankersley played a ton of snaps in the spring game and went up against some really good receivers.

More from Rubbing the Rock

The coaching staff is trying to make him the best he can be and they are certainly providing him with plenty of competition. He finished the game with six tackles for the Orange team.

In 2015, Cordrea Tankersley got the bulk of passes thrown his way and now he will be the guy in the 2016 and, in my opinion, will prove just what he is capable of doing.

He is an extremely talented defensive back and is the unquestioned leader, as well. He will be relied upon heavily this season and from what I saw in the spring game, he will hold his own.
