Green Bay Packers: 5 Prospects to Watch in CFP National Championship

A.J. Terrell CB – Clemson

Cornerback may not be super high on the Green Bay Packers’ list this offseason, but addressing it isn’t a bad idea either. While Jaire Alexander is emerging into a true No. 1 corner and Kevin King has put together a breakout season, there are question marks as well.

For one, Josh Jackson has rarely seen the field and Tramon Williams is having a nice season, but he is nearing the end of his career. So adding a playmaker or at least some depth should be on the to-do list. Now, whether it’s important enough to address on Day 1 or 2 of the draft, that remains to be seen.

Enter A.J. Terrell who at this point looks like a Day 2 pick and is a very experienced player. Over his career he has appeared in 37 games and totaled 96 tackles, with six interceptions – one of which went for a touchdown – along with 12 pass breakups and two forced fumbles. And this season, in particular, he has been excellent.

Joe Marino of The Draft Network would have this to say about Terrell as a player:

"“Terrific athlete with excellent pattern matching skills, quick feet, clean transitions and fluid hips. Love how tight he plays, allowing little cushion and staying connected defending quick game. Finds consistent success in press coverage with excellent balance, patience, hand usage and willingness to crowd receivers in the contact window. Outstanding in click and close situations, driving forward on the football and being disruptive. Does well to play through the hands of the receiver to challenge at the catch point. Has the ideal size for the position and he transitions well for a taller corner.”"

There’s a long ways to go before NFL Draft night and certainly a lot will change. However at this point, with just one more College Football left to be played, these are five players to watch carefully because they could end up being targets of the Green Bay Packers in April.
