Terrance Pennington (born September 25, 1983 in Los Angeles, California) is an American football offensive tackle who currently plays for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League. He was originally drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the seventh round (216th overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft. He played college football at New Mexico.
[edit] Professional career
He was drafted in the 2006 NFL Draft out of the University of New Mexico. Pennington took over as the starting right tackle for the Bills midway through the 2006 season. Despite Langston Walker being brought in to start at right tackle in the offseason, Pennington was expected to stick with the Bills team as a backup. In a move that was surprising to some fans he was cut while the less experienced Kirk Chambers was kept. On October 23, 2007 the Falcons signed him following a season-ending injury to Renardo Foster.
Pennington was placed on injured reserve with a torn pectorals muscle, ending his season. Pennington had played in five games for the Falcons after being signed in October. He will be questionable for training camp.
