GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Teez Tabor left his comfort zone when he came to the University of Florida.
The Washington, D.C., native eventually felt at home and spent the next three seasons forcing receivers to leave their comfort zone.

Tabor, Florida's All-American cornerback, announced Thursday morning his plans to enter the NFL Draft. He did so in a letter titled "A Message to Gator Nation" posted on The Players' Tribune.
"When I think back over my time padded up in orange and blue, it's hard to think of one moment more special than the one just a few weeks ago in Death Valley,'' Tabor wrote. "Is there anything more emblematic of this program than what happened there?"
Tabor is projected as a first-round draft pick by the majority of draft analysts in their early mock drafts. He joins teammates Quincy Wilson, David Sharpe and Alex Anzalone in the group of UF underclassmen who plan to enter the draft.
