Tamorrion Terry indicted in Georgia nightclub shooting from 2018

Former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tamorrion Terry was among 11 people indicted in a Georgia nightclub shooting that took place in 2018.

After the Seattle Seahawks waived wide receiver Tamorrion Terry on Wednesday, it came out that Terry had been indicted for the murder of 21-year-old Za’Quavia Smith. Ten others were also named as defendants by the grand jury in the incident which is alleged to have occurred in June of 2018.

The murder occurred as part of a mass shooting at the Studio 2.0 Nightclub in Ashburn, Georgia. At least seven other people were reported to be injured in the incident.

Despite occurring three years ago, it was not until this week that a grand jury handed down the indictment. Terry and the others have been charged with felony murder, so it is safe to say that he will not be returning to the NFL anytime soon.

Seahawks waive rookie undrafted wide receiver Tamorrion Terry

The Seattle Seahawks have waived rookie wide receiver Tamorrion Terry only a month and a half after signing him in May 2021.

The Seahawks waived rookie undrafted wide receiver Tamorrion Terry on Wednesday per the official NFL transaction report.

Terry had a solid career at Florida State University, but he suffered an injury-plagued final season and fell through the entire 2021 NFL draft before the Seahawks scooped him up as an undrafted free agent.

However, any hopes that Terry could assist the blue and green this season were quickly dashed as the team saw fit to release him a month and a half later.

The Seahawks look set at wide receiver, with Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf leading the way and rookie D’Wayne Eskridge waiting in the wings. Russell Wilson will still have plenty of high-caliber targets this time around.

2021 NFL draft: WR prospects in each round for Colts

A look at WR prospects for the Colts.

As the 2021 NFL draft approaches, the Indianapolis Colts will be taking a look at the wide receiver position in order to add some talent to a room that has been lacking elite production for a few years now.

There are promising players in the room. Michael Pittman Jr. could take that step as the WR1 to Carson Wentz in 2021. The Colts also re-signed T.Y. Hilton to a one-year deal, giving the room some stability. Then there is the ever-reliable Zach Pascal, who led the Colts in explosive receiving plays in 2020, while Parris Campbell is hoping third time is the charm when it comes to injuries.

Even with that group of four players locked in, the Colts still need more weapons for Wentz. The 2021 draft class might be lacking size, but they have playmakers all over the board in what is another deep class.

It’s unlikely Chris Ballard will use a Day 1 pick on a wide receiver and depending on how the board falls, he may not even use a Day 2 pick either.

But let’s take a look at potential wide receiver prospects in each round for the Colts in the 2021 draft:

Colts’ 7-round mock draft following Carson Wentz trade

Updated mock draft after the Carson Wentz trade.

The Indianapolis Colts made a major move on Thursday when they agreed to trade two draft picks to the Philadelphia Eagles for quarterback Carson Wentz.

Now that they have their quarterback of the immediate future, it’s time to figure out how the Colts might go about the draft. Of course with free agency yet to arrive, it isn’t all that clear how the team will go about using their selections.

But with Wentz as the quarterback now, the draft could go a bit differently as they focus on other positions. Using The Draft Network’s mock draft machine, here’s an updated mock draft following the Wentz trade:

Notre Dame vs. Florida State: Third-Quarter Analysis

The Seminoles have shown they’re able to put points on the board against a top team like Notre Dame.

Florida State has shown it’s able to put points on the board against a top team like Notre Dame. Unfortunately for the Seminoles, the Irish are answering every score with one of their own. It could only be a matter of time before the Irish make the deficit big enough to make a comeback almost impossible. They lead, 42-26, after three quarters.

The Seminoles started the second half fast with a 30-yard pass from Jordan Travis to Tamorrion Terry. They continued to go to the air until they got into the red zone. La’Damian Webb punctuated the drive with a 7-yard touchdown run. The subsequent pass on the two-point conversion was incomplete.

The Irish started the next drive on their own 14-yard line after a penalty on the kickoff. The distance didn’t matter because the offense put together perhaps its most impressive drive so far this season. Not only did it convert on a fourth down, but Javon McKinley caught a 38-yard pass from Ian Book to set the Irish up to score again. They did just a few plays later when Book took the ball into the end zone from 3 yards out.

Notre Dame vs. Florida State: First-Quarter Analysis

Those who figured the two-week layoff would hurt Notre Dame against Florida State were correct early.

Those who figured the two-week layoff would hurt Notre Dame against Florida State were correct early. Kyren Williams lost a fumble on his first carry of the game, and it cost the Irish an early field goal. Williams more than made up for it on the Irish’s subsequent possessions. Still, the Irish find themselves behind, 17-14, after the first quarter.

On the first play of Notre Dame’s second possession, Williams took advantage of a nice block from Tommy Tremble and ran 65 yards to the Florida State 10-yard line. That set up an 8-yard touchdown reception for Michael Mayer. One Seminoles punt later, Ian Book made a few nice passes before Williams ran the ball 46 yards to the house to give the Irish a 14-3 lead.

The Irish looked like they would hold that advantage after forcing a three-and-out, but Lawrence Keys III muffed a punt, and the Seminoles were more than happy to take over deep in Irish territory. That’s because all Jordan Travis had to do was call two run plays before running into the end zone himself from 4 yards out.

The Irish failed to pick up a first down on their next possession, really looking out of sync. When the Seminoles got the ball back, they decided to switch from attacking on the ground to doing so in the air. Travis completed three of four passes, targeting leading receiver Tamorrion Terry three times.  The final pass went 48 yards to Terry, who ran into the end zone and gave the Seminoles the lead back.

It was a quarter of both good and bad for the Irish, and most of the bad easily could have been avoided had they held onto the ball. Brian Kelly better figure out how to keep his guys on their toes because that extra time off seems to be taking a toll. At least they have enough time to figure things out. Still, Irish fans are in shock.

Tale of the Tape: Top Receivers – Tommy Tremble vs. Tamorrion Terry

It’s hard to determine who the top receivers are in a game between one struggling team and one that’s played only twice.

It’s hard to determine who the top receivers are in a game between one struggling team and one that’s played only twice. It says a lot about Notre Dame’s young corps when Tommy Tremble leads the Irish with only 104 receiving yards and no touchdowns. If Ian Book doesn’t find a regular target soon, we’re looking at a season in which the Irish player in this post could change every week. Still, Tremble’s numbers are decent given what we’ve seen when the Irish haven’t run the ball.

Florida State goes into South Bend with Tamorrion Terry as its top target, and the numbers here aren’t much better, albeit for different reasons. There’s a quarterback carousel happening in Tallahassee as the Seminoles will send their third starter under center in four games into battle. Different quarterbacks will have different tendencies and different favorite targets, so it’s almost impossible to tell if Terry is the Seminoles’ go-to. Regardless, he’ll have a tough time getting open against the Irish’s defense.
