2026 NFL Draft: Falcons select Clemson’s Avieon Terrell, brother of star CB AJ, in 2nd round

2026 NFL Draft: Falcons select Clemson's Avieon Terrell, brother of star CB AJ, in 2nd round


Avieon has similar strengths to AJ, displaying the fluid movement and top-notch athleticism that made him a great cover corner for the Tigers, recording three career interceptions and 25 pass breakups in three seasons at Clemson (including 21 PBUS in his final two campaigns). For his efforts, Terrell earned two all-conference honors, landing a second-team selection in 2024 and a first-team nod in 2025 to go with third-team All-American recognition.

Terrell established himself as the best slot corner in the 2026 class with a willingness to get his nose dirty, recording 125 tackles in three years and tied for third in the FBS with five forced fumbles in his final season at Clemson. Despite standing just 5-foot-10, Terrell plays with a physicality that makes him a strong pressure corner who is quick and clean enough to mirror receivers.

Boasting NFL-ready polish, ball skills and versatility, Terrell will likely share the field with his brother quickly, doubling their family’s interest in Falcons football. With six years of proof from the elder Terrell, Atlanta will be happy to have two family members in their secondary.
