Terrion Arnold is changing numbers. The Detroit Lions cornerback will switch from No. 0 to No. 6 as he heads into his second season in the NFL. He's making the change to honor his former Alabama teammate Khyree Jackson, who died in a tragic car crash last July.

Arnold and Jackson both played cornerback for the Crimson Tide in 2021 and 2022 before Jackson transferred to Oregon. Arnold was taken with the No. 24 pick in the 2024 NFL draft by the Lions while Jackson went in the fourth round to the Minnesota Vikings.
