4. CB A.J. Terrell

We’re beginning our list with the junior who is probably most likely to stay.

A.J. Terrell told the media before the Ohio State game that he was leaning towards heading to the NFL, but he hadn’t made up his mind for sure.

In the National Championship game, Terrell was out-manned and beaten on several occasions by LSU WR Ja’Marr Chase.

That certainly hurt his draft stock and may have him taking a second look at the NFL.

Still, there are some players who are just ready to make the jump. They may not be quite there physically, but they have already moved on mentally. I’d really like to see Terrell come back and think he could benefit from another season, but I don’t think that’ll be the case.
