Avieon Terrell is a cornerback from Clemson who is ranked No. 24 on my NFL Draft Top 100 Big Board. This comprehensive scouting report analyzes Terrell’s draft potential, current mock draft trends, and where he ranks among the top prospects.
Avieon Terrell’s NFL Draft Potential
Avieon Terrell doesn’t have the size-speed combination of his older brother A.J. Terrell, but nearly everything else about the younger Terrell’s game is appealing. He’s quick and feisty in man coverage, and fluid turning his hips upfield. He can match WRs through releases and overtop breaks, and he’s active with his hands at the catch point.
Meanwhile, in support, Terrell is one of the best turnover threats to come out over the past three cycles, with his ability to “peanut punch” the ball and force fumbles either crashing downhill or in pursuit. A utility CB with boundary-nickel flexibility and a supremely high floor in both phases, Terrell should earn consideration in the top 50 and take starting reps early in his career.
CFB Week 9 Update
Terrell and the Clemson Tigers were on a bye week in Week 9, but they’ll be back in action against the Duke Blue Devils in Week 10. The matchup with Duke presents an opportunity for Terrell, who could draw upstart Duke WR Cooper Barkate on his fair share of snaps. Barkate has the size advantage on Terrell, but has also proven adept at using combined tempo and targeted physicality to decouple from defenders. Terrell is competitive and plays above his size, but Barkate will once again force Terrell to prove to NFL teams he can size up.
