Mickey Plyler on Terrell: Terrell is not a polished corner yet, but he is a five star due to his freakish skill set. You don't see corners this tall who can flip their hips like Terrell. He is extremely physical. His film features him just destroying wide outs. Terrell attacks the wide receiver screens. His body looks like a safety but his flexibility, agility, quickness and top end speed make him a corner. Clemson hasn't had too many five star corners but this one has a very high ceiling.
