\u201cTerrell teams up with Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell to give the Eagles the best young secondary in the NFL. The former Clemson Tiger can play inside or outside.\u201c<\/p>\n
It\u2019s certainly an interesting choice given some of the other areas that need addressing, but Howie Roseman has been very open and confident in the team\u2019s approach in drafting the best player available, regardless of perceived need at any one position. With that in mind, Terrell is an interesting option, and would help form a unit that could stay together for several years.<\/p>\n
Terrell played three seasons at Clemson and had 125 total tackles, 25 passes defended, 8 forced fumbles, 4 sacks, 3 interceptions, and 3 fumble recoveries. He also finished No. 1 in the ACC, and No. 3 in the whole NCAA, last season with five forced fumbles.<\/p>\n
\u201cAvieon shares the same bloodlines and coverage temperament as his brother, A.J., a first-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons in 2020. Avieon Terrell is an athletic, fluid mover with clean transitions and enough speed to stay in phase on most vertical routes. He\u2019s most effective in press-man coverage, where he mirrors releases with timing and discipline, staying crowded to the route. He concedes 50\/50s to bigger targets at times, but is a constant catch irritant with good technique on all three levels. He can play wide or inside and is willing in run support, but he lacks ideal size. Terrell projects as an early starter thanks to his polish, ball skills and coverage versatility.\u201d<\/p>\n
Terrell is 5-foot-11, 180 pounds, and his size is considered one of his few weaknesses, but it hasn\u2019t kept him from being a first-round target.<\/p>\n
There will certainly be many names tied to the Eagles over the next few months, but CB in the first round is an interesting way to start draft season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cTerrell teams up with Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell to give the Eagles the best young secondary in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":431908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,204793,204794,46147,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-431907","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-draft","10":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-mock-drafts","11":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/431908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
