Speed is a family business for the Terrells.
Clemson product Avieon Terrell is projected to be a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft after flashing some wheels and elite coverage skills in college. He's following in the footsteps of his brother, Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell, who also played for Dabo Swinney at Clemson.
A.J. has built quite the career for himself, as the former No. 16 overall pick earned a second-team All-Pro selection in 2021 and inked a four-year, $81 million contract extension with Atlanta in 2024.
Their sisters are speedsters as well, with Ariel and Arieaunna Terrell both running track collegiately. Ariel, in fact, won gold in the 400-meter hurdles at the 2013 USATF National Junior Olympics before taking her spikes to Tennessee and later Western Kentucky.
As for Avieon, he's aiming to be the best of the bunch. He dominated in his two seasons as a full-time starter, recording a combined 96 tackles, 23 pass deflections, eight forced fumbles and four sacks. The Atlanta native is extremely physical despite his slight 5-foot-10, 186-pound frame, though his ball skills leave a bit to be desired.
NFL teams often prefer high-pedigree players in the draft, so Avieon's hyper-athletic family can only help him as he waits to hear his name called on Thursday night.
