Terell Smith:
Strengths:
· Phenomenal speed who plays fast on the field.
· Hips and feet. Smith’s hips and feet allow him to change direction and break extremely quickly. Terell wastes no steps inbetween breaks and closes gaps in a hurry with receivers.
· Ball skills. Plays the ball like a receiver, wants to catch it on defense. Also, he’s very competitive in battling for balls with the receiver. He doesn’t not want the receiver to come down with the ball.
Weaknesses:
· Tackling. Only a few clips shown of him tackling, and it looked like he wanted to part of it.
· Nuances of the position. To this point of his career, Smith has been able to lean on his athleticism to play corner and it hasn’t been an issue. He’s a bit high in his backpedal and is going to have to learn the nuances of the position.
Overall, Smith is a very talented athlete. He reminds me a bit of Kiante Hardin, except Terell’s probably a bit taller. He's an exceptional athlete with smooth hips and a quick break. He plays the ball well in the air and is not afraid to battle with receivers. His man-press clips were very impressive. Tackling will be something he’ll have to learn as he gains strength and learn the position a bit, but I like what I see out of him
