To say anyone outside of the Clemson football family was happy with that pick, especially in Atlanta would be a severe understatement. Did the Falcons take a chance on A.J.? Of course, that did. Will it pay off for them? There is no doubt that it will.
Every NFL pick is a crapshoot. No one knows if a player is going to blossom into the player that they hope to. However, the Clemson football family has watched Terrell blossom from an underweight freshman into one of the best corners in college football.
That is a tribute to his work ethic and his willingness to take coaching and apply it on the field.
