Be it injury concerns or off-field issues, they are a mystery. Which makes them as prospects, seem more interesting. This year, Tamorrion Terry fits into that group. Some even call him the \u2018forgotten wide receiver\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Terry went to Turner County High School in Ashburn, Georgia before redshirting his first year at Florida State in 2017. He was a four-star recruit from Georgia and an honorable mention All-ACC pick and FSU&#8217;s Offensive MVP in 2018 after leading the team in receiving yards and touchdowns (35-744-21.3, eight TDs in 12 games, 11 starts). As a redshirt sophomore, he garnered second-team All-ACC accolades as his team&#8217;s leading receiver (60-1,188-19.8). He led the country by averaging 58 yards on his nine touchdown receptions.<\/p>\n<p>He chose not to enter the Draft and stayed for the 2020 season to continue working with the wide receivers coaches. However, a knee injury meant he only made five appearances that year. He opted out of the remainder of the season after undergoing knee surgery.<\/p>\n<h3>Strengths<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Accelerates through the route stem and maintains positioning down the field;<\/li>\n<li>Has great understanding of leverage and knows how to work his way open in traffic. He can be used on the outside and in the slot;<\/li>\n<li>Good athleticism and agility in small windows. Can use it against defenders;<\/li>\n<li>Uses frame and force to work towards the ball;<\/li>\n<li>Can make grabs in tight windows, then hang onto the ball through contact and rocket through soft slant coverage;<\/li>\n<li>Solid hands, good ability to go up and secure the catch in contested situations;<\/li>\n<li>Start\/stop speed allows him to be a solid runner after the catch. Nifty footwork and acceleration. Can pick up 15 yards easily with his speed and balance;<\/li>\n<li>Strong ball release and has enough strength to fight through contact. He has a good understanding of releases and can get defenders to flip their hips the wrong way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Weaknesses<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>From a route-running perspective, he lacks refinement. A linear route-runner with limited route-tree experience;<\/li>\n<li>Loses momentum getting in and out of breaks;<\/li>\n<li>His speed testing numbers were not mind-blowing but he could still have enough to be a deep threat downfield (if properly developed);<\/li>\n<li>Inconsistent ball tracking will hurt downfield success;<\/li>\n<li>Catch techniques needs major work \u2013 drops ball frequently. Could be a lingering issue;<\/li>\n<li>Uses long strides, so he is less twitchy meaning slower reflexes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Teams With Need At the Position: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/lions\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Detroit Lions<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/eagles\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/patriots\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> New England Patriots<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/ravens\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/raiders\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Las Vegas Raiders<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/colts\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Indianapolis Colts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/texans\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Houston Texans<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NFL Comparison: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/V\/ValdMa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marquez Valdes-Scantling<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Projection:\u00a0<\/strong>Second round<\/p>\n<h3>Bottom Line on Tamorrion Terry<\/h3>\n<p>Terry has enough talent to include him in the first-round conversation but his knee issues will likely push him down to Day 2. He had a successful college career before the knee injury put a halt to it. If he stays healthy, he will make an excellent backup and move up to starter within two seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"SaArh1diR1pfVy5mzK7OTw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1311158945\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'SaArh1diR1pfVy5mzK7OTw',sig:'4zrqlyyqhd4JZb-jgArWH8alj8-ZSnfBZr_q6xCJJj8=',w:'594px',h:'446px',items:'1311158945',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2021 NFL Draft Profile: Tamorrion Terry.
