David Terrell SELECTED BY CHICAGO , ROUND 1, PICK 8, OVERALL PICK 8 WR | (6-3, 213, 4.4) | MICHIGAN | By Pro Football WeeklyNotes: High school All-America WR-DB who was also an All-State of Virginia basketball player. Played in every game and started once as a true freshman in 1998, when he caught 14 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns. Started 10 games at wide receiver and also played seven games at cornerback in '99. Had 71-1,038-7, five rushes for 89 yards and one touchdown, six tackles, two passes broken up and one interception. Named '99 Orange Bowl MVP after catching 10-150-3 vs. Alabama. Was a marked man as a senior and played with a healing stress fracture in his right foot but still caught 63-994-13 during the regular season and 4-136-1 vs. Auburn in the Citrus Bowl. Has experienced no discomfort in his foot, and therefore is not expected to need surgery.Positives: Tremendous athlete. Big, strong, quick, fast and agile. Has exceptional balance and body control. Just learning about how to play his position and has a very high upside. Dominates with physical ability. Can run after the catch, make the great catch and run and return kicks. Potential game-breaker. Wants the ball in big situations.Negatives: Still very raw around the edges. Needs to refine his pass-catching skills. Drops way too many passes and will often look to run before he has the ball or get sloppy about his hand placement. Must do a better job of setting up defenders and shifting his weight when he comes into and out of his breaks. Has not done that much work in the weightroom.Summary: Can become a star on the next level if he works hard and develops his skills. Will be a top pick barring unforeseen consequences with his foot. Where he goes may be impacted if teams think he is not 100 percent healthy before the draft.* Player biographies are provided by Pro Football Weekly.
