FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- It could be looked at, somewhat, as a lonely defensive existence. Every play, A.J. Terrell lines up expecting to see a pass, thinking the ball might come his way. And over and over this season, he'll go a series or a quarter doing what he does about as well as anyone in the NFL with little to no action.
Not that this is a bad thing.
Terrell has become one of the top cornerbacks in the league this season , and because of that he rarely has been tested by opponents of the Atlanta Falcons who have little to no interest in trying to throw into the void of offensive success Terrell creates.
