Falcons select CB Avieon Terrell in second round of 2026 NFL Draft
The Atlanta Falcons selected Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell with the 48th overall pick in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Friday evening. Terrell is the little brother of Falcons star cornerback A.J. Terrell. The Tigers standout joins a talented secondary with a chance to eventually start alongside his brother.
Terrell is a huge value here at pick No. 48. Pro Football Focus ranked him as the 23rd overall prospect on their 2026 big board. While he lacks elite size to play on the outside, Terrell is instinctive and savvy in coverage. He could potentially play in the slot, however, he played over 75 percent of his snaps on the outside.
"Terrell's lack of length may limit him to zone-heavy schemes, but his elite football IQ and playmaking instincts give him starting potential across multiple systems," PFF wrote in Terrell's scouting report.
Terell is the first pick under Atlanta's new regime, led by president of football Matt Ryan, GM Ian Cunningham and head coach Kevin Stefanski.
