I believe Terrion Arnold is a pro bowl caliber player that is ready to start Day 1, with his ceiling being an All-Pro player. I still cannot believe the Lions were lucky enough to draft the best Corner in the draft and can't wait to see him in honolulu blue this season! 21/21

Terrion Arnold is a CB you can park on an NFL field and let him do the rest. The level of awareness and game knowledge he possesses for a 21 year old is mind blowing. Plus, his level of athleticism makes it tough to bust on him. 20/21

Finally I would like to see Arnold define the picture more consistently. What I mean by that is setting the edge quick and early. Waiting can cause a cloudy picture, slowing the reactions of others. The final clip shows he's capable of this, so it is definitely fixable. 19/21

Occasionally he relies on his uber fluid hips too much. Watch in the clips for when he flips his hips. Both clips he could have been more patient and held his hips even to play the route more cleanly. Just because you can flip your hips doesn't mean you necessarily should. 18/21

I love his tape, but there are some aspects to clean up at the next level. First is connecting to the WR around 8 yards. He has to build the habit of connecting to better react to the WR's route. A few too many times he didn't get connected which caused him to get thrown by 17/21

The level of maturity this kid shows is impressive as well. He always celebrates with his teammates. If Arnold makes a big play, at most it's a small pop off to himself. When a teammate makes a big play? He is over the moon. I always love seeing a great teammate on film! 16/21

It's also good to see a 21 year old corner showing good use of smart, advanced techniques. Watch both clips at the top of the route. He does what I call a hop step, quickly hopping to flip his hips quicker and break faster. Allows him to seal the game in the first clip 15/21

Elite play isn't enough to make a corner elite. Their communication skills have to be elite as well. Watch him pre snap for both of these clips. You can see his head moving for verbal communication while giving hand signals. This is consistent across all the games I watched 14/21

There is a level of discipline to Arnold's game as well. Watch these clips vs trick plays. These get played perfectly. Not biting up on the fakes, but rather keeping his job integrity and stopping them from developing at all. Will be an essential task at the next level. 13/21

Another Sunday level ability is Arnold's ability to see the bigger picture. The first and third clips are great examples of watching and reacting to receivers crossing the field and exchanging those routes. The second clip is holding height, not taking the bait underneath. 12/21

The way Arnold plays 10 yard in-breaking routes is really good. We can get in the low hip or high hip and still make the play with ease. This shows a level of pre snap awareness that will translate to NFL Sundays. 11/21

Now we will zoom out to his play in the pass game. He has a very strong ability to drive on routes. Note his pad level in both clips. He gets his pads down to help drive on the route. Second clip, that is an extremely tough play to make, so having good technique is crucial. 10/21

This translates over to the run game as well. Each of these clips show burst and conviction when coming to play through a ball carrier's face. The last clip also shows him defining the fit and protecting the edge, and making an excellent tackle that not many could make. 9/21

Whether it's his WR or a checkdown option, he is excited to fly downhill. Both of these clips the WR doesn't catch the ball, but still comes downhill with the intent to kill. His hip fluidity and quick hips keep him in phase during the route and allow him to burst downhill. 8/21

Arnold's hip fluidity is also added in how fast his feet move. Watch the speed of his feet. You see the hip fluidity discussed above, combined with lightning fast feet allow him to break on the route he's covering and smother it. He makes an extremely tough move look routine 6/21

The quick feet plus hip fluidity are polished even more by a downhill playstyle. If you give Terrion Arnold a chance to come downhill, he will say please and thank you. The force he comes downhill with shows a level of excitement you don't get often from corners in college 7/21

The first clip here is another great example of accelerating while opening up his hips. The second clip he opens his hips over 100 degrees to drive on the out route and barely allows separation. This hip fluidity will allow Arnold to be proficient against WR's with burst. 5/21

Next we can look into his hips. Terrion Arnold has the most fluid hips you will find in the draft. There are aspects to watch for when determining hip fluidity. The ability to accelerate while opening hips is key to look for. The first clip is a great example of this. 4/21

First thing first I want to address his 40 yard dash time. I know he ran a 4.50, but the tape tells a different story. Watch him match pace towards the backend of this rep. If that speed is a 4.50 then it is time for me to retire! He is closer to low 4.4, high 4.3 territory. 3/21

The redshirt sophomore garnered a first team all-american nod after his 2023 campaign, while 2022 he boasted as a freshman all-american. Arnold has the pedigree one would look for when selecting a corner for the future. With that said, let's get into the film! 2/21
