Not sure anyone projected A.J. Terrell to go as high as No. 16 overall. Getting to stay home with family has to be a surreal feeling right now.

#NFLDraft breakdown ft. @ajterrell_8 Big, physical, lock down corner = perfect in press man coverage. Smooth, low, back petal that allows him to transition quickly and crowd the WR trying to make a catch. ???? pic.twitter.com/xcxlQzBkrq

A.J Terrell taken by Falcons with #16 overall selection. Third highest selection of a Clemson CB trailing only Donnell Woolford (#10 in 1989) and Tye Davis (#15 in 2006).

Terrell only second first-round selection from Clemson by Atlanta Falcons. Vic Beasley #8 pick of draft in 2015.

Quick nugget on A.J. Terrell for Falcons fans. Yeah, he has ideal specs and wins the eyeball test. But team members love him because he goes about his biz, very coachable and will do the dirty work. Low maintenance team player.

AJ Terrell is sound technique wise, long, fast, and is never out of position! Good pick!
— Tajh Boyd (@TajhB10) April 24, 2020

AJ Terrell is still raw to me. Handsy. His ceiling w/ his height/length/speed combination is through the roof. Surprised to see him as the 3rd CB off the board. #Falcons #NFLDraft
