Devin Taverna brings veteran, turnover-hunting energy to South Dakota's secondary
Devin Taverna’s profile is all about production and reliability: at South Dakota, he was a two-year starter at defensive back and a standout tackler, finishing with 79 tackles in 2012 and 78 in 2013 while adding six interceptions across those two seasons. That kind of ball production and downhill toughness is exactly why he stands out beyond raw stats—he played with comfort in the system, showed instincts in coverage, and gave the Coyotes a steady, physical presence in the back end. If you want a DB who can diagnose fast and make quarterbacks pay, Taverna fits the bill.
