Detroit Lions rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold isn’t shying away from big expectations. After watching the Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl, Arnold sent a message to Lions fans on social media, making a bold promise: “We going to get ours DETRIOT.”
It’s a statement that captures the mindset of a team that dominated the regular season, only to see its Super Bowl dreams cut short in the playoffs. The Lions finished with a 15-2 record and one of the most explosive offenses in NFL history, earning the NFC’s top seed. But instead of celebrating a championship, Detroit was left wondering what went wrong after failing to win a single playoff game. Despite that setback, confidence in the team remains high, and Arnold’s message reflects the belief that their time is coming.
Can Arnold Step Up in 2025?
Arnold’s promise is more than just words—he could play a major role in whether the Lions actually reach that goal. With veteran cornerback Carlton Davis potentially leaving in free agency, Detroit’s secondary may look very different next season. The team invested in young talent last year by drafting Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw Jr., but neither has fully proven themselves at the NFL level just yet. If the Lions don’t make a big move at cornerback in free agency, it’ll be up to one of them to step up and solidify the position.
Lions Still Among Super Bowl Favorites
Despite their playoff struggles, oddsmakers aren’t counting the Lions out. Detroit opened the offseason with the fifth-best odds to win Super Bowl LX, signaling that expectations remain sky-high. The team’s front office will have key decisions to make in free agency and the draft, but the foundation for success is already in place.
Arnold’s confidence is exactly what Lions fans want to hear. Now, it’s up to him—and the rest of the team—to back up those words and bring the Lombardi Trophy to Detroit.
