Alfred Terance "Terry" Kinard (born November 24, 1959) is a former American college and professional football player who was a safety in the National Football League (NFL) for eight seasons during the 1980s and 1990s. He played college football at Clemson University, and was a two-time consensus All-American. Kinard was selected in the first round of the 1983 NFL Draft, and played professionally for the NFL's New York Giants and Houston Oilers.
Kinard was born in Bitburg, Germany. He attended Sumter High School in Sumter, South Carolina.
He attended Clemson University, where he played for the Clemson Tigers football team from 1979 to 1982. Kinard was a two-time consensus first-team All-American for two years in a row. He was the CBS National Defensive Player of the Year in 1982 and selected to the USA Today All-College Football Team in the 1980s. Kinard is the all-time Clemson leader in interceptions with seventeen and tackles by a defensive back with 294.
His college career did not start smoothly. He suffered a separated shoulder in his first game and was out the rest of the season. He later said that having to redshirt turned out to be a good thing, as he was not physically ready to compete as a freshman.
