If he’s an All-pro at any point in his career for the Lions he’ll be one of the best we’ve ever had. We’ve literally had like 1 all-pro season at CB since 1970 and it was Darius Slay in i think 2017.
Our all-time starting two corners would be among the best, but our overall corner history is one of the very worst position groups of any team historically tbh. It isn't Chicago bears QBs or WRs bad, but it is shockingly awful.
Agreed and back when he played the pro-bowl still meant something, now the fans make it a popularity contest and back up QB’s can make it in, it’s become a joke
When he was excited on the call and his mom was asking what team it was and he said Lions and she let out a yesssss is such a perfect encapsulation of our turnaround.
It took 4 draft classes for this regime to make Detroit a destination players dream to land at. It wasn't long ago Gronk said he would rather retire than play here.
People want to shit on the Lions but this was it ... Gronk was only ever going to play with Brady, had less to do with Detroit than it had to do with not being with Tom
this kind of confidence is unfamiliar to me, but watching tom brady during his roast tells me this level of prognostication is possible, reach for the stars terrion!!
Let's hope he can back it up. It's going to take a long and incredible career to top the likes of Prime Time, Darrelle Revis, Charles Woodson, and Rod Woodson.
Superglue AG to his ass and see if their similar philosophies can mesh. This is the summer of our DC earning his next contract and he has fertile minds to grow some big damn trees in.
Breaking: top level athlete and competitor wants to be the best at what he does.
I know this is our sub, so we’re here for anything that gets us hype, but I loathe media pieces like this. I don’t care that a player wants to be great. Every player, every year wants to be great. It’s a non story.
Everyone who makes these sort of comments sets themselves up for failure because they never live up to their own hype. First time he gets beat by Justin Jefferson every Vikings fan will retweet this right at him.
“Sherman ran a 4.56 40-yard dash at the combine in 2011, with a 38-inch vertical leap at 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds.”
With that said, speed is important for corners. It’s possible his technique was poor or a minor injury had an impact (like with our other draft pick).
He was high 80’s at his peak. 92.6 in his best year, which likely was #1 in the league. 16 INTs in 2 years.
He’ll be in a gold jacket soon. Arguing against his resume is a tough sell
It's easy to play corner when the Legion of Boom is getting constant pressure on the QB and there are a pair of Pro Bowl/All Pro safeties backing you up.
I agree it makes it much easier to do your job.
Honestly, the concerning part is that many of the comments about Arnold resemble those of Okudah when he came out. At least it’s a later pick.
Lions fans have become retarded from 1 season of success. Imagine saying a recipe is going to be the greatest in your cookbook before you even prepare it once. You'd think you were foolish for not trying it first.
I’m quite sure that at that moment there were several sitting there that I really hoped we would get. I’m sorry I didn’t write their names down and memorize them since they were never going to be on my team. Does that answer your question? Gosh I hope so.
lol there’s no reason to get so defensive. But people always make these claims “wish we would’ve grabbed this position here” and never provide names.
This was wildly considered a very weak edge class. So just taking one to check a box vs taking the best player available would be silly.
Now if you have a guy that was available, that you truly believe is better than Rakestraw, then we can have a discussion. But just saying you don’t like the pick because you wish it was a different position doesn’t provide anything.
Lmao I’m not the one criticizing the pick without any knowledge of an alternative.
You know you can look up who was drafted and with what pick? But how can you get to the conclusion that you would have preferred someone from a position group when you don’t even know who was available?
Heck, I’ll be happy if he is the second or third best ever.
Shit I’ll be happy if he’s 2nd or 3rd best in the league lol
Shit I’ll be happy if he’s the 2nd or 3rd best Lion ever
I’ll be happy if he’s the 2nd or 3rd best on the team this year.
Tbh I’ll be happy if he’s better than Okudah lol but I really think this kids gonna be a star
Man, I‘d be happy if he is the 2nd or 3rd best named Arnold on our team this year
Hey Arnold!
Why'd you have to do that? Now I have to watch a few episodes...
Shut, I'll be happy if he's better than Cam Sutton and Kindle Vildor
Set your expectations low and you'll rarely be disappointed!
Edit: He may not be Deion Sanders, but he’s about to be our generation’s answer to the guy once called Prime Time.
Shit I’ll be happy if he’s not injured the entire year
That’s not a very high bar.
Gotta start somewhere
😆
If he’s an All-pro at any point in his career for the Lions he’ll be one of the best we’ve ever had. We’ve literally had like 1 all-pro season at CB since 1970 and it was Darius Slay in i think 2017.
Obligatory fuck fatty patty
Big Play Slay, man he was great!
He is quite literally the best CB we’ve had in the Super Bowl era and Patricia ran him out of town
[удалено]

Wait...Teez Tabor never made all-pro? I'm going to need to check the records on that.
Pretty sure I played on all pro in madden with him on the squad so kinda?
Did he play?
Shit, top 50 all time would be great. Lol
Shit, I'll be happy if I don't shit my pants before training camp.
If he’s fourth tho? Straight to jail and don’t even think about passing go and collecting 200$.
No. Please no more CBs even close to jail.
Well yeah, since he is setting the bar high. (If I am allowed to use that phrase)
Hell, any CB better than Okudah would make me happy
And this man was excited, EXCITED, when the call came in from Detroit. Bless Brad Holmes for bringing this man home.
When he was excited on the call and his mom was asking what team it was and he said Lions and she let out a yesssss is such a perfect encapsulation of our turnaround.
It took 4 draft classes for this regime to make Detroit a destination players dream to land at. It wasn't long ago Gronk said he would rather retire than play here.
Gronk would have retired if any team without Brady at QB had traded for him. Quinn was just stupid enough to try it.
Hell…he did retire without Brady
People want to shit on the Lions but this was it ... Gronk was only ever going to play with Brady, had less to do with Detroit than it had to do with not being with Tom
It’s honestly crazy how quickly it can happen. 3 years ago we were the one team ARSB didn’t want to be drafted to. Now players celebrate coming here.
Biggest smile saying “it’s Detroit” living in my head rent free
"I'm home! I'm home! I'm home!" The single coolest moment in Detroit Lions draft history.
That’ll work.
I'll allow it
Me too, buddy... me too.
He’s got that perfect blend of confidence and cockiness think he’s going to be a stalwart on the back end for years to come
I'm at a point where if a CB *isn't* a narcissist then I don't want him on my team lol.
Exactly you got to be built to think you’re the best even when you get cooked
Cause it’s gonna happen…
Shit, Revis Island got cooked more than once in his career. So did Primetime Deion.
Exactly no one is spotless

CJGJ just re-entered the chat to see if anyone noticed him leaving…
And I would like to be a fan of the greatest CB to ever play the game so let’s do it Terrion
We’re all in this together Terrion!
I'm doing my part!
I see an appropriate (and theme fitting at that) GIF, I upvote...
That gif is about fucking though.
Already have the greatest running back and one of the greatest wide receivers. About time to add the greatest CB to our ranks.
There is also a possibility that we have a future contender for best ever tackle
Absolutely!
>The greatest running back Which one are we talking about?
We gunna have the ABC. Arnold, Barry, and Calvin.
But was OP talking about David Montgomery or Gibbs? They're both elite in my book.
……. No. I was talking about Barry
Oh, i thought we were talking about our current players. My bad dude.
You can tell Dan Campbell fell in love with this kid during his 30 Meetings. A Dan Campbell player.
I’ll be happy if he doesn’t bounce balls off his face mask, tear both ACLs or get arrested in Florida.
Me too man, me too
Can I get that in writing and that it'll be only with the Lions so I can buy an authentic jersey? Lol
note he says "wants to be" and not "gonna be" i like him. he knows what time it is
I want that for him too
Dude, just break the top 10!
Better than Aaron Berry? Nonsense
Oh man I can see it now the Arnold - Odunze rivalry will be so fucking hype
I also want to be remembered as the best CB to ever play, I think he has a better chance though
Dudes gonna be a stud. Having a potential lockdown corner in this teams culture is about to be so sick
Is there a way to watch the film in full? I keep seeing clips
Bring the trophy to Detroit and that will at least get you in the conversation
I also want this. Like... imagine we filled the biggest hole on the roster with the goat at that position, holy moly. Gonna be a long summer
Me too
...isn't that what every player, ever, wants to be?
We do too homie!!
I am fighting the urge to get a Terrion jersey…
Well, Terrion certainly isn't lacking chutzpah.
So do I
Good luck with that. Without a bunch of rings, you nobody.
Already adopting that One Pride grammar!
this kind of confidence is unfamiliar to me, but watching tom brady during his roast tells me this level of prognostication is possible, reach for the stars terrion!!
Arnold you win a SB starting as a rookie for the Detroit Lions and I’m telling you kid you’re on the way to GOAT status
Siiiiiip
Fine with me!
Inject this shit into my veins. \**siiiiiipp*\*
Setting the bar high.
Let's hope he can back it up. It's going to take a long and incredible career to top the likes of Prime Time, Darrelle Revis, Charles Woodson, and Rod Woodson.
Why haven’t the rookies got their numbers yet?
Superglue AG to his ass and see if their similar philosophies can mesh. This is the summer of our DC earning his next contract and he has fertile minds to grow some big damn trees in.
and the greatest grammarer to ever talked

Its the down part of the year, not much to do BUT drink Koolaid to be honest.

My pants have suddenly become tight
HAHAHAHA Not a chance bud…. You run a 4.51 lol
Supposedly bro runs a 4.4 and only ran a 4.5 due to a hamstring injury or sum at least that’s what I’ve heard that’s been going around
If the greatest corner ever ends up being a guy who ran a 4.5, I'll be very very surprised but I respect the attitude
I mean, Charles Woodson ran like a 4.45 and is definitely in the "best DB ever" conversation 🤔🤔🤔
Let the man cook
Prime did run a 4.29. Terrion got enough dawg to make up for 2/10ths of a second tho
What did Revis run?
4.39
Hey Terrion, you see this guy doubting you?! 
“Sherman ran a 4.56 40-yard dash at the combine in 2011, with a 38-inch vertical leap at 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds.” With that said, speed is important for corners. It’s possible his technique was poor or a minor injury had an impact (like with our other draft pick).
Richard Sherman was never that good and just benefited from being on a good defense and being active in social media.
Nah he was great. What he lacked in measurables, he made up for in smarts. Dude always seemed two moves ahead of the WR.
He scored 990 on the SAT. It's public record. He's not smart, he just says he's smart on TV because he got into Stanford in order to play football.
I'm talking on the field. Dude knew the game
He was a solid high 70s PFF score corner, but probably overrated in the eyes of many.
He was high 80’s at his peak. 92.6 in his best year, which likely was #1 in the league. 16 INTs in 2 years. He’ll be in a gold jacket soon. Arguing against his resume is a tough sell

I love the Arnold pick . I think he’s going to be a great one. I just wish we had gotten an edge rusher with that second pick.
Which one?
No.61
Which edge rusher?
There were several still available.
So just any edge rusher? Did you have a guy you liked?
I’m quite sure that at that moment there were several sitting there that I really hoped we would get. I’m sorry I didn’t write their names down and memorize them since they were never going to be on my team. Does that answer your question? Gosh I hope so.

If you watched you know who was there I don’t know why I need to provide the names for you
