“Still was finding his way through the majority of spring practices before he nabbed an interception off Justin Herbert on Thursday and added two pass breakups in full-team drills against other quarterbacks.”
His performance impressed their new DC.

“Tarheeb has, probably in the last three or four practices, made a really, really good jump that you sort of expect a guy to make after being able to digest five or six practices,” defensive coordinator Jesse Minter said. “Really happy with the jump he’s made.
“He made a bunch of really nice plays out there the last couple days,” Minter added.
He will compete against a third-year player for the starting nickel cornerback job.

Taylor took over as the starter in his second season, playing 16 games and starting six. He recorded 32 tackles, one interception, eight pass deflections, and a 56.2 PFF grade.
Will Taylor hold onto the starting nickel job, or will it be Still?
