Packers Mock: Mel Kiper makes final prediction for Green Bay

Key Points:

• ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. projects the Green Bay Packers to select Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell with the 52nd overall pick in his final 2026 mock draft, highlighting Terrell's potential as a starting man-to-man cornerback despite current injury concerns.
• Terrell is recovering from a hamstring injury that has hampered his ability to run at the NFL Combine and Clemson’s pro day, with a recent private workout showing a slower-than-expected 40-yard dash time of 4.67 seconds due to a flare-up.
• Known for his playmaking ability, Terrell forced eight fumbles over the past two seasons and earned All-ACC honors twice, recording 25 pass breakups and three interceptions in just three college seasons before declaring early for the draft.
• Terrell comes from an athletic family, including brother A.J. Terrell, an All-Pro NFL cornerback, and sisters who competed in collegiate track, underscoring his strong athletic pedigree despite current speed concerns.
• At 5’11” and 186 pounds, Terrell’s combination of size, experience, and football IQ makes him a promising prospect for the Packers, who may see him as a potential immediate contributor once healthy.
