Every time I watch that opening game near pick six I am reminded about how damn good Tillman is. How he is so freaking smart with his coverage his technique and his skills. He's not a guy who simply gets by because he's more athletic than everyone else, he's a guy who has worked his ass off to be a smart football player.
The way he plays leverage on the route, then undercuts the throw on that pass is picture perfect. You can't run that play any better in slow motion the way he did at full speed. That skill is a key teaching point necessary if you play CB because it's about knowing where route is going to break, knowing that point where the WR is trying to be and cutting it off. Tillman does it with precision.
So I believe that so long as he can still run, then he can still play because he'll be able to win in every other way necessary to be successful. He's just a joy to watch because you quickly realize how much he cares.
