    So we know Adoree is an exciting talent and athlete and track star and playmaker ...

    But can the dude tackle? Is he our new #1? How is he going to tackle big WRs or even medium WRs with a frame that small???

    Personally, I hope he doesn't have to. Knock the ball out, or better yet, catch it yourself, and no tackle necessary.

    I mean tackling has always been our corners number one skill. Finnegan and mccourtey especially.

    Good question, dtm586. I don't think he's known as a big hitter, but he is not afraid to tackle.

    Fast forward to the 1:51 minute mark to see his hit against Alabama:

    Either way Deion Sanders was not known as a good tackler but didn't stop him from being one of the best corners... ever.

    I've read he was a solid tackler and in some of the highlight clips he makes some tackles for losses on screens and such.

    I'll admit I haven't watched anything outside of highlights but I haven't seen anyone mention his tackling being an issue.

    Adore Jackson went to the Deion Sanders school of tackling.

    Adoree is a willing tackler. He just needs to be under control when he does it.

    His speed is off the charts. I think you all are going to fall in love with him as a Titan. He's going to be great and I feel a future pro bowler. I like this pick and player almost as much as I liked the Mariota puck. Well...maybe not quite as much.

    But he's played with the big boys of the college ranks and excelled. No matter the size and opposition if the other side. You seen it there against Bama. And he was monumental in the Husky take down this year. I have no concerns about his size or worthiness to play at this level. It's all heart.

    Adoree may have some shortcomings, but tackling isn't one of them. He's a good tackler.

    I see what you did there - "shortcomings".
