The Detroit Lions scored big on Thursday night when they got the top cornerback in the 2024 NFL Draft with the 24th pick. Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold is a baller. To show that he's a baller, we've compiled some of his best highlights from the 2023 season. You're going to love them.

Interception against Kentucky

Here you really get to see what Arnold is capable of. He reads to play perfectly and then shows some great closing speed to jump the route and get the pick. 

Shadowing Ladd McConkey

Arnold is not the fastest player in the draft, but he's able to stick with guys and move his body just right. Watch him stick with McConkey's every move here and get the pass breakup. A thing of beauty. 

Correcting himself

Texas' Adonai Mitchell runs a good route here and shakes off Arnold, but again, Arnold shows that closing speed and awareness and is able to get back for the pass breakup. 

Getting back for the sack

You really get to see Arnold's will here. He gets in for the sack and does not stop engaging until the play is dead. 

Tackling

Brad Holmes talked about how much he loves tackling in a cornerback at the NFL Combine, Arnold is one hell of a tackler. Here he gets off his man and saves a would be Adonai Mitchell touchdown. Tackling in space is a big deal. 

Calling game

You have to love a guy that decides to come up clutch in a huge game. Arnold did that in the closing seconds of the Iron Bowl this year when he picked off Payton Throne. 

Showing moves on the interception return

Arnold doesn't just pick the ball off here, he makes some solid moves on the return and gets Alabama out of the shadow of their own goal post. 

More highlights to watch

Here's a great six minute highlight package that shows some of the plays here and some other ones that will have you pumped.
