The Detroit Lions are heading into the 2025 season hungry for a bounce-back, and one name keeps popping up as a player to watch: second-year cornerback Terrion Arnold.
NFL.com’s Marc Ross has named Arnold as one of the top breakout candidates across the league this year. After posting 10 pass breakups but also racking up 10 penalties in 2024, Arnold has plenty of room to sharpen his game. But with new free-agent signing D.J. Reed lining up opposite him and a revamped defensive front featuring returnees like Marcus Davenport and rookie Tyleik Williams, Arnold could thrive.
Ross even compared the setup to what Sauce Gardner experienced with the Jets—a promising sign for Detroit fans hoping Arnold blossoms into a true No. 1 corner.
Off the field, Arnold has already shown he’s serious. As soon as the playoffs ended, he dove into offseason training, and social media posts show he’s itching to get back on the field. With motivation, opportunity, and a stronger supporting cast, Arnold looks primed to take a major leap this year.
It’s shaping up to be a big season for the young Lions defender. Keep your eye on him when training camp arrives.
