American football linebacker Tanner Vallejo is currently a member of the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL) at the present time.
He came into the world on December 16th, 1994. He played collegiate football at Boise State University, where he also attended school.
He was chosen by the Buffalo Bills to become a member of their football team in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
The Cleveland Browns were the team that gave Vallejo his start in the professional football league, and he later played for the Washington Redskins.
MaxPrep’s All-American honours were bestowed upon Vallejo during his senior year of high school when he was competing for Nevada Union High School.
He also participated in baseball for Nevada Union while he was there, in addition to playing football for the school.
Tanner’s grandfather was born in the continent of South America, specifically in the country of Ecuador. Even though Vallejo earned 100 tackles as a sophomore at Boise State while playing football, he was forced to end his last season of college football early so that he could have wrist surgery.
During that same season, he stopped two kicks in a single game, which was a contributing factor in the Broncos’ 28–0 victory.
Pro Football Focus lauded his speed and commended his ability to disrupt plays in the defensive backfield. However, in their scouting report for his senior season, they criticized his lack of size and the low effectiveness with which he tackled opponents.
