A.J. Terrell is a player the Falcons are pinning a lot of hope on. Their #1 cornerback for the past seven or so seasons, Desmond Trufant, was dumped in the offseason, and Isaiah Oliver and Kendall Sheffield have real promise but aren’t expected to be that true, lockdown option in the secondary. Clearly, the Falcons are hoping Terrell grows into that role after drafting him in the first round of the draft in April, which may as well have been ten years ago.
We have no idea how soon he’ll get there, if at all, but we love to hear anything positive about a player the Falcons have invested significant draft capital and hope in.
