She captioned her story by writing, “Detroit vs everybody,” which clearly indicates the famous team motto, “Alabama vs everybody.” Now that Arnold will be seen in blue colors rather than his familiar maroon, the Saban family will continue to voice their support for the cornerback, just like they did back in his college days. Even the legendary Nick Saban doesn’t shy away from showering Arnold with praise, and thus, it’s a happy day for both Arnold and the Saban family.

There is no doubt about the fact that the Saban family treats every one of the Alabama players as family but Terrion Arnold seems to be closer to them than anyone else on the squad.

Now that Arnold is heading to the NFL with Detroit, here is what Saban had to say about his closest player. Saban said, “This guy is a special guy. He’s got a great personality. Everybody loves him. He started the whole LANK thing you know. That all naysaysers know. And he sort of followed on to be the best player he could be, being a leader on the team. I mean this guy’s Miss Terry’s favorite, he comes to our house and plays rummikub. And he sat right beside me in the defensive meeting everyday.“
