These brothers from Atlanta both balled out at West Lake High School and Clemson University, but a seven-year age gap kept him from teaming up until... Now, AJ has started 93 games, picked off six passes and locked in a 4-year 81-million-dollar extension in 2024. Picture the draft party in Atlanta pure emotion when the call came. AJ? Try playing a cool after coach Kevin Stofanski tipped him off early, but Avion read right through him. Players flowed, hard-strapped, and the brothers talked about locking down the secondary side

1:01by side, right in their hometown, Falcons GM, and Cunningham called it a steal. Avion was a top prospect, ranked 4th at corner in 27th overall, but a hamstring slowed his, 40 yard dash, to 4.64. Still, his 9 tackles for loss, 8 forced fumbles, and 23 passes defended over his last two Clemson seasons, screamed to value. He's versatile, playing outside in nickel, perfect to compete opposite AJ or back of injured spots. Now the Tarels gear up to hunt as a duo, bringing that brotherly fire to Atlanta's defense. Falcons know you can never have too many dogs in the secondary. Expect picks and turnovers to pile up Come Sundays.
