Detroit Lions Add Talented Cornerback to Defense
NFL Draft News and Analysis
The Detroit Lions have selected Alabama Crimson Tide cornerback Terrion Arnold with the 24th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Arnold is a highly-touted prospect who is expected to make an immediate impact on the Lions' defense. He is known for his athleticism, playmaking ability, and physical presence.
Arnold had a standout season for Alabama in 2022, recording four tackles, including one for a loss of 5 yards, against the Utah State Aggies in the season opener. He followed that up with eight tackles and a pass breakup against the South Florida Bulls. Arnold's impressive performances earned him recognition as a First-Team All-SEC selection.
Standing at 6-0, 180 pounds, Arnold has the size and speed to excel in the NFL. He is a physical tackler who is not afraid to come up and make stops in the run game. He also possesses excellent ball skills and has shown a knack for making big plays.
The Lions are excited to add Arnold to their young and talented defense. He is expected to compete for a starting role immediately and could potentially form a formidable duo with fellow cornerback Jeff Okudah. Arnold's addition gives the Lions a much-needed boost in the secondary and could help them improve upon their disappointing 9-8 record in 2022.
