Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell aggravated a hamstring injury on Monday during the opening moments of his private pro day, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The injury reportedly occurred on Terrell's very first run of the session held at the Clemson facility.
Terrell enters the draft process as a highly-regarded defensive prospect and is widely projected to be a first-round pick in next month’s NFL Draft. The private pro day was intended to be a showcase for NFL scouts and personnel directors as Terrell worked to solidify his draft stock. This setback comes at a critical juncture in the pre-draft cycle, with the event scheduled to begin in just a few weeks.
The standout Clemson defender had been managing the injury prior to the workout. His health and recovery timeline will now be a significant point of interest for NFL teams holding late first-round selections. Terrell has been a cornerstone of the Tigers' secondary, and his availability for rookie minicamps will likely be a topic of discussion for potential suitors.
