AJ Terrell

AJ Terrell, the Atlanta Falcons’ first-round pick out of Clemson, had a bit of a shaky start in his first couple of games but has since become one of the most consistent defenders on the team. He has perfumed exceptionally well over the last four games under the guidance of Jeff Ulbrich and Raheem Morris and will only get better with more experience.

Some “analysts” were not high on the Atlanta Falcons selecting Terrell as high as they did, but this selection is proving to be a smart move as he has really come into his own as a starting corner in the NFL.

Many critics were skeptical of Terrell, but he has proven them wrong so far, as he has become the best corner on the roster in a very short time.

Has Terrell been perfect? No, of course not.

He is a rookie and has made rookie mistakes. No corner in the league is perfect. Terrell has made strides and looks to be a key piece to the Atlanta Falcons defense for many years to come.
