Drew Terrell enters his fourth season coaching in the NFL, his second season in Washington and his first as the teams wide receivers coach. Terrell was promoted to the role following the 2020 season, when he served as the assistant wide receivers coach.
In 2021, Terrell helped guide wide receiver Terry McLaurin to his second-straight 1,000 receiving-yard season. McLaurin has recorded 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons under Terrell, becoming the first receiver to record two-straight 1,000-yard seasons in Washington since Henry Ellard did so in 1994-96.
In 2020, Terrell assisted the wide receiver room that boasted the first 1,000-yard receiver for Washington since 2016. Terrell assisted in the development of McLaurin, who became only the third player in Washington history to surpass 2,000-career yards receiving in their first 29-career games.
Terrell served as the Carolina Panthers' quality control coach from 2018-19. In his role, Terrell broke down opponent game film and presented statistical analysis to identify opponent tendencies as well as assisted the offensive coaching staff in game plan preparation.
Terrell joined the Panthers after three seasons (2015-17) at the University of Michigan, where he was an offensive graduate assistant. He worked with the wide receivers and returners his first two seasons, and the cornerbacks and returners in his final season.
Terrell was a four-year letterman at wide receiver and punt returner at Stanford University (2009-12), earning honorable mention All-Pac-12 as a returner three times. He was a part of four consecutive bowl teams with the Cardinal, and was Stanford's leading receiver in 2012, when the team finished with a 12-2 record and won both the Pac-12 championship and the Rose Bowl. He was college teammates with former Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck.
