These Two Corners Keep Popping Up in Mock Drafts for Seattle at Pick 32
Mock draft season is here, and if you have been paying attention to what the talking heads think the Seahawks might do with the No. 32 pick, two names keep jumping out: Tennessee cornerback Colton Hood and Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell. Michael Bumpus, a former NFL wide receiver and analyst on the Seahawks Radio Network, broke down the film on both guys during Friday's Bump and Stacy show, and honestly, both could have real success at the next level.
Hood: The Patient Operator
Colton Hood played for three schools over three seasons before landing at Tennessee for 2025. The 6-foot, 193-pound corner was a second-team All-SEC pick and a Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist. In his only year with the Vols, he had eight passes defended, one interception, allowed 28 receptions on 52 targets for 318 yards and one TD. He also returned a fumble for a touchdown and recorded 4.5 tackles for loss. At the combine, Hood ran a 4.44-second 40-yard dash and posted the fifth-highest vertical jump among corners at 40.5 inches. Daniel Jeremiah has him ranked 29th overall, while ESPN slots him at 34th.
Bumpus described Hood as a "patient" corner with old school technique. "He is waiting for you to bring the fight to him," Bumpus said. The corner is fast and strong enough that he does not need to get overly aggressive at the line. He lets the game come to him.
Terrell: The Active, Aggressive Playmaker
Avieon Terrell spent all three college seasons at Clemson and is the brother of Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell, a 2020 first-round pick who was second-team All-Pro in 2021. Avieon was a second-team All-American, first-team All-ACC selection and Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist last season. The 5-foot-11, 186-pound Terrell had nine passes defended, allowed 29 receptions on 51 targets for 340 yards and three TDs. He forced five fumbles, had 4.5 tackles for loss and received the highest pass-rush grade among cornerbacks from Pro Football Focus with 3.0 sacks. He did not run a 40 at the combine but tied for the lead at his position with 17 bench press reps of 225 pounds. Jeremiah ranks him 30th overall, ESPN has him at 18th.
Bumpus sees shades of Mike Macdonald's use of Devon Witherspoon in how Clemson deployed Terrell. "He is blitzing off the edge, he is rallying to the football," Bumpus said. "He is the more active corner out of these two. He has that presence and that swag." This is a guy who cannot sit still and makes plays all over the field.
