Terrell Brothers Unite in Falcons Draft

0:00On April 25th, the Atlanta Falcons just made family dreams real in the 2026 NFL draft, snagging cornerback Avion Terrell with a 48th overall pick. That puts him right alongside his big brother AJ Terrell, another star cornerback who's already locked in with the team. Both brothers balled out at Clemson, and this marks the first time since 2022 that siblings landed on the same squad like this. Avion was Atlanta's first election in the draft, a spot they eyed carefully for his skills. He brings solid college stats, including 125 tackles, 4 sacks, 3 picks, and a Clemson record for forced fumbles. AJ, meanwhile, has been shining since his own draft day, finishing second on the Falcons last year and passes defended and signing a four year. Stinchin, the moment hit hard after Avion's name got called, the brothers hugged it out tight, even shedding some tears. AJ admitted he ran the scenario in his head, but never figured it'd happen. For these guys, it's not just making the league, but doing it side by side after years of pushing each other.

1:04Their bond is all competition and mentorship, with AJ guiding Avion since he was five years old. The younger bro calls himself the Daredevil, always chasing AJ's level from college accolades like first team all ACC to combine feats where he outbenched his brother 17 reps to 10. Now with AJ mentoring on the field, these terrails could lock down receivers for years, turning that brotherly fire into Falcons dominance. Stay locked in with NFL News Today, AI-powered updates.
