The Detroit Lions‘ defense was much improved in 2024 from what they produced in 2023.
Their offensive output was similar, but they won more convincing games last year, as they didn’t need to get into shootouts in more games than not.
Dan Campbell and his staff figured out what worked on the defensive side of the ball, and by adding the right players, they were able to tap into the formula that equaled great success.
One of their 2024 NFL Draft picks, Terrion Arnold, made an impact from the jump, showing the organization that he was well worth a first-round selection.
Arnold was excellent in the secondary, totaling 60 tackles and racking up 10 passes defensed, but he wasn’t able to log his first career interception.
Interceptions are a key metric that defensive backs like to measure, and Arnold is itching to get his first one.
He talked about this in a recent interview with Kay Adams of “Up & Adams,” highlighting the two players he’d like to achieve this feat against first.
“Number one, Jayden Daniels, ’cause that’s my dog,” Arnold said, also naming Aaron Rodgers as the second quarterback he’d like to pick off.

Arnold’s responses were very different, as Daniels is a newer NFL player while Rodgers has been around for years.
Rodgers is one of the most accurate passers in league history, a difficult person to get an interception against, so that task could prove more difficult than Arnold would care to admit.
Daniels has less experience than Rodgers, which could make him more vulnerable to throwing a pick.
Even if it’s not one of these two quarterbacks, Arnold is excited to get his first career interception and remember that moment for the rest of his life.
