DAVID TERRELL
By: Dave-Te' Thomas

#1-DAVID TERRELL University of Michigan Wolverines 6:02.5-208

ANALYSIS
Positives... Prototype receiver with the perfect ingredients (size, strength, speed)...Flashes an explosive upfield burst and quick acceleration to easily gain advantage over the defender in deep routes...Has a sharp release off the line, using his hands well to extend and push off the defensive back...His outstanding leg drive and impressive size make it very difficult for his opponent to apply press coverage...Has superb field awareness, tracking the ball in flight while making proper body adjustments to get under the pass... Very capable to snap off his route and come back for the off-target throws...Has large, soft hands, plucking the ball out of the air with his long fingers properly extended...Shows excellent concentration on the ball and aggression going for it in traffic...Has excellent leaping ability and arm extension to maintain position for the high passes...Master of keeping his feet inbounds working the sidelines...Has the flexibility to catch the over-the-shoulder passes and runs with good body lean...Great upfield blocker who is very effective delivering the cut blocks for the ground game...Graceful strider whose outstanding stop-&-go action allows him to suddenly freeze the defender after the catch...Has also seen action as a defensive back in the nickel and dime formations.

Negatives... ...Needs to show better awareness on corner/post routes as it seems he wants to turn upfield before properly securing the ball...Shows some wasted motion trying to accelerate and burst when running underneath routes...More of an intermediate route runner tan a deep threat.

CAREER NOTES
Playing for a school with a long-standing tradition of producing standout receivers, David more that made his mark on the playing field while rewriting several records during his time in a Wolverines uniform...In only three seasons at Michigan (two as a starter), he managed to haul in 152 passes for 2317 yards (15.2 avg) and 23 touchdowns...Only Anthony Carter (161, 1979-82) had more receptions in a career for Michigan...His 2317 yards are topped only by Carter (3076) and Amani Toomer (2657, 1992-95) in school annals...His 23 touchdowns receptions rank behind Desmond Howard (32, 1989-91) and Carter (37) on the Wolverines' all-time record list...Gained over 100 yards receiving in nine games during his career, surpassed only by Carter (14) in school history...First player in Michigan annals to gain over 1000 yards receiving in more than one season (1999-2000)...Caught at least one pass in his last 24 games...Accounted for 2168 yards receiving in his last 24 games, with 1317 of those yards coming after the catch.

REMIND ME OF... San Francisco's Terrell Owens.

GAZING INTO THE CRYSTAL BALL... It could come down to Terrell or Koren Robinson as the Cleveland Browns' first round choice. No matter what the outcome, Terrell will long be gone before the Bears come on board, even though Chicago would love to add him to their arsenal. I like Terrell's maturity and toughness better than I like Robinson's speed.
