Atlanta Falcons selected Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell with the 48th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, reuniting him with his older brother A.J. Terrell in the secondary.
Avieon's reaction to being drafted by the Falcons was one of excitement, saying he was 'ready to help the team any way I can.'
He views A.J. as a role model and plans to continue learning from him once practice begins.
'Being able to stay home and play with my brother is a dream come true,' Avieon told Falcons' reporter Taylor Vismor.
A.J. added that having Avieon in the locker room would 'make football feel more like home.'
Both brothers grew up in Georgia and chose Clemson for college, where Avieon became a starter at cornerback and earned All-ACC and All-American honors.
