The Seattle Seahawks are riding high after their dominant Super Bowl LX victory, but the challenge of defending their title looms large. As the team to beat, they must tackle the offseason with a strategic focus, particularly on shoring up their secondary.
The upcoming NFL Draft presents a golden opportunity for Seattle to bolster their defense, and the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis will be a critical event. Among the 319 prospects, Clemson's Avieon Terrell stands out.
Despite flying under the radar, Terrell, the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons' star A.J. Terrell, is a player the Seahawks should keep a close eye on.
Terrell's athleticism and versatility make him an ideal fit for Seattle’s aggressive defensive style. At 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds, he may not have the prototypical size for a boundary corner, but his competitive toughness more than compensates. Adding Terrell would enhance Seattle's secondary, complementing talents like Devon Witherspoon, Julian Love, and Nick Emmanwori, all set for the 2026 season.
However, the Seahawks face potential losses in their defensive backfield with Coby Bryant, Josh Jobe, and Riq Woolen entering free agency. This makes Terrell even more appealing as a potential addition.
In his junior year, Terrell recorded 48 tackles, nine pass deflections, three sacks, and led the ACC with five forced fumbles. His impressive 83.5 Pro Football Focus grade highlights his effectiveness, especially as a pass-rusher.
While Terrell might not be available when Seattle picks at No. 32, as he's projected to go to the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21, his talent and potential impact make him a prospect worth considering for the Seahawks.
