SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS
Possesses an impressive frame with ideal height, solid build, and length for a cornerback combined with good speed
Confident and technical in man coverage, demonstrating physicality along the route stem.
Shows patience and aggression at the line of scrimmage, especially when playing inside
Efficient footwork, allowing him to mirror receivers effortlessly in man coverage.
Fluid hips and great explosion aid in transition and recovery phases.
Aggressive approach to downhill plays against screens.
Consistent heavy-hitting tackler - wraps up well. Could play safety
Noticeable improvements in his zone coverage skills since his freshman season
SCOUTING REPORT: WEAKNESSES
Only average as a zone corner. In Cover 3 leverage, needs to trust his athleticism more and not allow easy completions on stop routes.
When there's no threat in his zone, he must process cross-field threats quicker.
Shows some growth but is still less comfortable when playing in the slot.
Occasionally misjudges ball trajectory on deep passes, leading to overcommitment or underestimation of receiver's reach.
While physical, can be prone to drawing penalties due to overly aggressive play in man coverage.
SCOUTING REPORT: SUMMARY
Terrion Arnold emerges from Alabama's football crucible as a high-caliber cornerback prospect for the NFL Draft. His transition from safety to cornerback showcases not just versatility but a keen aptitude for defensive back play. With a robust blend of size, agility, and decent speed, Arnold fits the prototype of an outside cornerback capable of shutting down opposing receivers. His playstyle is a blend of physicality at the line and fluid coverage skills downfield, making him a nuisance for receivers in man coverage. However, Arnold is not just a one-dimensional player; his improvements in zone coverage highlight a growing football IQ and an ability to adapt to complex defensive schemes. This aspect of his game will be particularly appealing to NFL teams seeking a cornerback who can operate effectively in various defensive setups. As Arnold steps into the professional arena, his ceiling is as intriguing as his current skill set. Teams needing a cornerback who can contribute immediately while still having room to grow will find Arnold's profile particularly appealing. He enters the NFL Draft with the potential to develop into a cornerstone player in an NFL secondary, combining the physical tools and on-field intelligence that are hallmarks of top-tier defensive backs.

This comment’s Mr Moore said is awesome. Coming from a true professional.

[@KenAppledorn]

Love this as a demonstration that Moore could be on any major station giving great player/team insight.

[@mamayl8592]

Great breakdown. Hopefully a breakdown for Ennis is coming.

[@anandnathan6851]

Thanks Herman, great insight from a (should be) HOF receiver's perspective!

[@dtip48]

Good to know from a Hall of Fame Legend that basically Terrion is game day ready!!! Let's Go!!!!

[@Doitfluidmoverman]

A lot of knowledge in this video from a 🦁 great!!

[@jamesbond1586]

Halfway through this season we should see him making big play after big play. He has a similar IQ to Branch. Not as elite but close. He also just turned 21 which means he is really still a baby so the upside and projection for Terrion are extremely high. I wouldn't be shocked if in year 2 he is getting national recognition as being a top 10 corner.

I still have my #84 jersey. Herman Moore = the OG prototypical big WR

[@paulywalnuts24]

Chris Simms didn’t even have Arnold in his top 5 CB’s 😳🤷‍♂️

[@matthewwichtner2935]

I'd love to know Arnold's thoughts on your critiques of him? I bet the kids nothing but positive about it. That's how you get better!

[@helmedon]

I worry about much he uses his hands, depends on keeping contact, that he's going to have a rough transition avoiding PI.

[@detroitflex6257]

I wonder if he's going to start?

[@swaggy5939]

Hell yes

[@detroitflex6257]

@@swaggy5939 we should have a strong DB setup.

[@Jamar-lg9ob]

Gonna need two years to be good
