Falcons rookie Avieon Terrell picks off Tua Tagovailoa in practice
Not everybody was a fan of the Atlanta Falcons taking Avieon Terrell in the second round. Terrell is admittedly undersized for an NFL cornerback, and questions were immediately raised about whether or not his game would translate well to the next level.That remains to be seen, but there have been positive flashes so far at Terrell's first pro training camp. Today the rookie cornerback intercepted a pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, making a diving pick for a highlight reel play.AV incoming @nationwide_avpic.twitter.com/xJLHWco0tG Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) August 5, 2026This is both a good clip and a bad one as far as the Falcons are concerned. Terrell's ball skills are one of the big positive attributes that made him a Day 2 pick in the first place - and something his older brother A.J. Terrell admits he does better than him.On the other hand, it's admittedly difficult to see what Tagovailoa had intended with this throw, but from this angle at least it appears to be a poorly thrown ball and questionable decision. However, that's what practice is for.Turnovers had never been a huge problem for Tua before last season in Miami, when he threw a career-high 15 interceptions to go with 20 touchdown passes. Around the NFL, only Geno Smith threw more picks (17) in 2025.This article originally appeared on Falcons Wire: Falcons rookie Avieon Terrell picks off Tua Tagovailoa in practice
