It could be sloppy at first, but I think he'll develop pretty quickly.

Perhaps. He's certainly the most athletic lineman we've drafted in a very long time. He's more raw than the average rookie LT. Thats probably why he was still there in the 3rd.

So unless he develops his game at blazing speed he'll need some time. Of course, judging from what we saw at the combine blazing speed is no problem for Terron.
