Former Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell is now officially a Falcon.

The Atlanta Falcons announced Thursday they have agreed to terms with Terrell on his rookie deal.

Terrell’s four-year rookie contract is estimated to be $10.4 million in total value, per OverTheCap.com.

Atlanta drafted Terrell in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft with the No. 48 overall pick.

Not only is Terrell getting to play in the NFL for his hometown team, but he also gets to play with his older brother – former Clemson cornerback A.J. Terrell, an All-Pro in 2021, who is entering his seventh season with the Falcons.

“Being able to stay home and play with my brother, it has been a dream come true,” Avieon said after being drafted. “It’s something we have always talked about and now it has happened. We feel good about it.”

The Terrell brothers join the McSwain brothers (Chuck and Rod) and the Perry brothers (William and Michael Dean) as the third set of brothers to be selected out of Clemson in the last 50 years. However, they are the first to be drafted by the same team and play on the same team in the NFL.

A 2025 All-American and Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist, Avieon was credited with 128 tackles (nine for loss), 30 pass breakups, three interceptions, four sacks, eight forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries across 39 games (31 starts) in his career as a Tiger from 2023-25.

The two-time All-ACC selection set Clemson records for a defensive back in forced fumbles in a season (five in 2025) and a career (eight), and he led all cornerbacks nationally in forced fumbles across his Clemson career.

Avieon became Clemson’s ninth all-time NFL Draft selection by the Falcons, the 20th defensive back drafted in Dabo Swinney’s head coaching tenure and the 17th Clemson defensive back selected in the first two rounds in the Common Draft era.
