David Terrell (born March 13, 1979) is a former American football wide receiver. After playing college football at the University of Michigan, he was selected as the eighth pick in the first round of the 2001 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL). Because he played only five seasons, in which he caught just 9 touchdowns, Terrell is sometimes ranked as one of the biggest busts in NFL history.[1]

He capped an outstanding sophomore campaign by being named the FedEx Orange Bowl MVP after setting career highs with 10 receptions for 150 yards and three tds. He caught 71 passes for 1038 yards and scored seven touchdowns as a sophomore. A native of Richmond, VA, Terrell was the eighth overall pick of the 2001 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears.
