NFL team makes easy decision on former Clemson star
By: Staff Report April 30, 2023

The Atlanta Falcons announced on Friday that they have picked up A.J. Terrell’s fifth-year option — a very easy decision for the franchise.

Through his first three NFL campaigns, the former Clemson cornerback has become one of the best young players at his position in the NFL and one of his team’s most dependable players on the defensive side of the ball.

Now that the franchise has exercised his fifth-year option, Atlanta can keep Terrell in a Falcons uniform and off the free agent market until after the 2024 season.

Terrell is entering his fourth season in the NFL after after being drafted by the Falcons with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

A 2021 second-team All-Pro, the 24-year-old has posted 202 tackles, 32 passes defended, four interceptions, four forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 44 career games (all starts).
