A.J. Terrell finished his career with Clemson as a first-team All-ACC selection, starting all 15 games for the Tigers. He recorded 37 tackles, two interceptions and six pass breakups.

Terrell is a terrific athlete who can play in either press or man coverage. He didn’t exactly do his draft stock any favors with his performance against LSU in the National Championship Game, but he was matching up against two likely first-round picks, as well as a quarterback who will be taken No. 1 overall in just over two weeks.

Terrell’s style is what the Jets often seek in cornerbacks. He is physical and knows how to use his hands in stride. He’s not one to shy away from contact and put receivers on islands last season with his physicality and ball skills.
