[edit] High school career

David Terrell attended Huguenot High School in Richmond, Virginia and was a two sport star in both football and basketball. In basketball, he was a four year letterman and an All-District selection. As a senior, he averaged 20 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 assists per game.

[edit] Pro career

Terrell was originally drafted by the Chicago Bears with the eighth overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft. Through his years, he was wildly inconsistent, showing flashes of brilliance. He was later cut by the Bears, and he attempted to comeback with both the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos. After signing a one year contract with the Denver Broncos on April 12th, 2007, Terrell was cut by the team on August 27, 2007, once again putting in jeopardy his once promising career. Terrell is considered to be one of the draft-day busts of the 2001 NFL Draft. [1]
