This Clemson Tigers star could land with one of the NFL's top franchises this offseason.
The Clemson Tigers just completed a 7-5 regular season, marking one of their most disappointing finishes in recent memory.
Clemson had national championship hopes heading into the year and at least thought it would make the College Football Playoff, but neither came to fruition.
However, the Tigers still have a handful of players on their roster that should be relatively high NFL Draft picks next April, and that includes cornerback Aveion Terrell.
Terrell is widely viewed as one of the top corners in the 2026 draft class and registered 48 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, five forced fumbles and nine passes defended this year.
He sustained a quad injury during Clemson's win over South Carolina, but it isn't expected to keep him out of the Tigers' bowl game.
The 20-year-old could ultimately be a first-round pick but could also potentially slip to the second round, which is why Bleacher Report has actually tabbed the Green Bay Packers as a potential fit for the defensive back.

The chances of Terrell actually being available for Green Bay seem relatively slim given that some even feel he could fly off the board in the middle of the first round, but you never know what happens between now and the draft.
While Terrell is a bit small at 5-foot-11, he makes up for it with his sheer tenacity, which Bleacher Report mentioned in its scouting report of the Tigers star.
"He's has a great competitive nature across the board and won't back down to anyone," Bleacher Report wrote. "He's improved strength and leverage understanding to deliver hits and get off blocks."
Terrell is also just a junior, so he has plenty of room to fill out his 180-pound frame, and he also has ample time to grow and develop as a player in general.
Would Terrell be a Day 1 starter on the NFL level? Maybe not, but there is no question he has potential, and with the Packers definitely needing help in their secondary, Terrell could comprise a fantastic fit if he is actually available for them.
