How did Detroit Lions sign Terrion Arnold in the 2024 NFL Draft?

In the 2024 NFL Draft, The Detroit Lions made a strategic move by securing the talented Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold with the 24th overall pick. After Day 1 of the draft, Lions' GM Brad Holmes expressed his surprise at Arnold still being available, seizing the opportunity by trading up five places to secure the defender.

​

“Really, didn’t think he [Arnold] was going to be there calling late teens, but (I was) really trying and thinking we were going to have to settle for a different player at a different position but still trade up,” Holmes said to the reporters on day one of the draft.

The Lions GM revealed that they had initially eyed another player [Darius Robinson] for a potential trade-up but swiftly pivoted when Arnold unexpectedly fell to them. After being picked by Detroit, Arnold said to the fans,

​

“I just wanna say Detroit, y'all got a star, man. I'm home! I'm home!!’

The former Alabama CB’s selection marks a trend for the Lions, who have consistently tapped into the talent pool at Alabama in recent drafts. Arnold joining previous Crimson Tide picks like Jameson Williams and Jahmyr Gibbs.
