Mandatory Credit: Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_8nuujsx3v\">No ifs, ands, or buts about it, Terrion Arnold had a shaky rookie campaign with the Lions.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_tjizq3prp\">Arnold, Detroit\u2019s first-round pick last April (No. 24 overall), was the only individual from the organization\u2019s six-player 2024 draft class to start on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_cooxavlpc\">In 16 games, the Alabama product recorded a passer rating against of 99.2, and received a paltry coverage grade of 50.4 from Pro Football Focus. Plus, he failed to secure a single interception, and was penalized 10 times, including seven instances for pass interference and twice for defensive holding.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_hbwx6ls31\">Yet, one NFL pundit believes that Arnold proved that he belonged during his debut NFL season: the NFL Network\u2019s Brian Baldinger.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_69segaotb\">Baldinger, a one-time NFL offensive lineman, has become known for his player breakdowns on X (formerly Twitter) called \u201c#BaldysBreakdowns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_u522czgtj\">Recently, he took time to break down film from the former Crimson Tide defensive back\u2019s \u201824 campaign, and offered Arnold some high praise.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_402xdyut6\">\u201cAll season long, sticky in coverage. But, he also can play zone,\u201d Baldinger said of Arnold. \u201cHere he is against Tennessee, that\u2019s Calvin Ridley right there. So, can you put that left foot in the ground and come back and make a break on the ball? Perfect. Well done.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_g1vn8usly\">\u201cNow, you get this right here: 23-23 game. Alright, fourth quarter (against the Houston Texas). Now, can you press the outside right here and take (Texans receiver Xavier) Hutchinson away. Forces fourth down right here. Well played.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lions?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Lions<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ArnoldTerrion?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ArnoldTerrion<\/a> proved that he belongs; only surrendered 2 TD&#39;s all season. Sticky in coverage; solid tackler. Most players, if they are going to be great, make the biggest improvement between rookie and 2nd year. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/onepride?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#onepride<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BaldysBreakdowns?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BaldysBreakdowns<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MfuVmTja25\">pic.twitter.com\/MfuVmTja25<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Brian Baldinger (@BaldyNFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BaldyNFL\/status\/1902890705460027575?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 21, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_3l0pb3w3k\">Baldinger also noted that Arnold needs to cut down on his penalties this upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ic8azy5xv\">\u201cOne thing he was guilty of last year, too many penalties,\u201d the longtime NFL analyst expressed. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to win with your feet. He\u2019s got to improve upon that, study that, understand what the officials are looking at. With that, I think he\u2019s ready to start intercepting some balls and becoming a real factor in the Lions\u2019 defense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_jug9ya6y2\">Arnold is expected to open up the 2025 campaign as Detroit\u2019s No. 2 cornerback. The Lions signed former N.Y. Jets defensive back D.J. Reed earlier this offseason to be the team\u2019s No. 1 corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arnold showed signs of being reliable NFL cornerback in rookie season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18870,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
