0:00On April 25th, the Atlanta Falcons just snag Clemson cornerback Avion Terrell as their first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. They skipped opening night after trading for Ed rusher James Purse Jr. last year, but jumped in to grab this talented brother duo starter. Avion gets to team up with his older brother AJ Terrell, who's held down the Falcon Secondary his whole career. For the Terrell family, Sunday stay local, no long trips needed to cheer both sons on the same field. Pro football focus ranks Avion 23rd overall on their bigboard with an 83.5 grade from last season. At 5 foot 10 and 180 pounds, he's undersized for an outside corner, but his tape shows he plays way bigger than those numbers.

Avion started as a freshman at Clemson, wrapping up with 125 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 3 picks, 25. Pass breakups, 8 force fumbles, and 3 recoveries.
