Terrion Arnold anticipated a “immediate impact” for the Lions
The defensive coordinator, Aaron Glenn, is getting more confidence from the Detroit Lions secondary that they can perform the weekly tasks assigned to them.
Terrion Arnold, a rookie cornerback acquired by Detroit via a trade up in the draft to bolster the secondary, displayed his self-assurance and fierceness this spring.
According to a recent NFL.com list of rookies who could make an immediate impact, Detroit’s first-round selection is anticipated to contribute to strengthening the defense. Arnold is predicted to compete for All-Rookie teams selected by numerous analysts as well as Defensive Rookie of the Year.
“Arnie was still available at No. 24, so the Lions were prepared to move up for him because cornerback was their top need in the draft. He can strengthen the position in tandem with second-round pick Ennis Rakestraw Jr. and seasoned trade acquisition Carlton Davis, according to Chad Reuter. “I expect Arnold to attack the ball for Detroit, likely intercepting and breaking up multiple passes as quarterbacks test the rookie, with his former Alabama teammate, Brian Branch, handling nickel duties.”
Given that Detroit’s front office signed defensive backs Ennis Rakestraw in the draft and Carlton Davis and Amik Robertson in free agency, there should be intense rivalry among them.
The benefit is that you have to demonstrate it, according to Deshea Townsend, the defensive backs coach. “It matters when you get it, not when you start, according to the rep. You must utilize it to the fullest. We are here to compete; that is our purpose. Every day, we have to go out there and prove it to the players in this room who are eager to do so.
