Terrion Arnold’s Former Alabama Teammate Convinced NFL Team to Sign Him

Polarizing CB Terrion Arnold has a new team just weeks after being cut by the Lions, and he has an ex-Alabama teammate to thank.

Ex-Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold, once an Alabama Crimson Tide All-American, secured a spot with the Seattle Seahawks just weeks before the start of the NFL season. Despite facing legal issues and potential felony charges that could lead to a multi-game suspension, Arnold was recently signed by the defending Super Bowl champions.

Jacob Stefos, an Alabama teammate of Arnold's, played a pivotal role in the Seahawks' decision, giving the team favorable reviews about Arnold's character and cultural fit within the organization. During his workout with the Seahawks, Arnold's performance was deemed "great," and head coach Mike Macdonald expressed his enjoyment of meeting Arnold and seeing his potential as part of the team.
