The DB MVP was sharp in coverage all day long. His tight coverage created quite a few over throws, as the QB’s didn’t want any part of throwing a 50/50 ball with Stinson in coverage. This is another young man that had multiple picks on Saturday. His hips and feet were fluid, his hands were quick to reroute receivers and his speed allowed him to toy with some of these wideouts. The best part of watching Terrell play is that you could watch his eyes stay locked on the hips during 1v1’s. I say this meaning that he was so dialed in that it seemed like the whole play just slowed down for him. I will be surprised if he doesn’t log any varsity minutes this upcoming season. He’s a DUDE.
