The Detroit Lions selected Alabama All-American cornerback Terrion Arnold with their first-round selection in the NFL Draft, making a big splash.

Following Detroit’s decision to choose him with the 24th overall pick, NFL Films made available an audio clip in which he expressed his wishes for his legacy when his playing days were done.
Arnold remarked, “I want to go down as the best cornerback to ever play this game.”
This is the kind of thinking that Detroit, of all places, adores.

Dan Campbell, the head coach, has likewise ingrained this way of thinking in the team since his arrival in Motor City.

Arnold was selected to the First Team All-SEC in 2023 after recording five interceptions and twelve pass deflections.

He infuses Aaron Glenn’s defence with an abundance of talent.

Along with these outstanding young players, he also joins All-Rookie linebacker Jack Campbell, former Alabama teammate and safety Brian Branch, Pro Bowl edge-rusher Aidan Hutchinson, and a few other important players.

But this group also placed 26th in terms of pass defence.

Arnold proved to be the assistance they needed.

The Lions recently completed their first 12-win campaign since 1991 and made their first trip to the NFC Championship Game since then as well.
In addition, it was their first NFC North championship in the more than 20-year existence of the division.

Arnold’s pick by Campbell’s squad indicates that they are a Super Bowl contender at this time.
