Terrion Arnold Uses Biggest Regret From Stint With Nick Saban & Co as Motivation to Achieve The Ultimate Prize

The Alabama player who couldn’t make his dreams come true will return as a prodigal son in the NFL. During the time of Nick Saban, the Alabama Crimson Tide became one of the best teams in the country for over 10 years. They won championships in the years of 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017 and 2020. But alas! it was ill luck for Terrion Arnold as he was a part of Saban’s only class that failed to bring home a national championship.

Terrion Arnold, the cornerback for the Alabama Crimson Tide, has had an impressive career during his college football run. He’s known to be an exceptional tackler and can make very good stops in space. Additionally, Arnold boasts of a fantastic physique which has helped his tackling capabilities majorly. And now, as he steps towards a future in the NFL as a reckoning force, he reveals his regrets during his time with Saban.

Terrion Arnold talks about the biggest regret he had during his college career

In a recent statement that comes from the NFL Combine interview of Terrion Arnold, he talked about what his motivation is going forward in the Draft. The cornerback for the legendary Alabama Crimson Tide dropped Saban while talking about his biggest regret during his time with the team.

Arnold said, “I went to Alabama because I needed to learn how to win. I was part of [Nick Saban’s] only class to not win a national championship, and it’s something that motivates me to this day. So I know when I got in that league, I need to win a Super Bowl.” The 20-year-old came to Alabama since they were one of the most dominant teams in the NCAA for almost a decade, but luck turned against him and he failed to take home a natty under coach Saban.

But he will now be focused more on the ultimate goal, which is to hoist the Super Bowl trophy, something which he couldn’t achieve in his college football career. With all that said, Arnold might very well land up at a top-tier team in the NFL, but he has already won the fans over with his heartwarming message for his mother at the NFL Combine.

The fans were brought to tears over Arnold’s words for his mother

The NFL Combine is a big day for all college prospects. With every player hoping to be a top pick and landing with the best teams, Arnold seemed to have a different priority as he took a moment to express his gratitude for his mother, who has supported him through thick and thin.

In a since-then viral moment, Arnold said, “Mom, if you’re watching this right now, your son just wanted to tell you how proud he is of you. You had me at a young age and you overcame a lot of adversity. People were doubting you, counting you out. And honestly, mom like I always tell you — zoom in right here, zoom in — Tamala Arnold, I love you, the whole world is watching and I’m blessed to have you as a mom.” Thus, Arnold has won hearts both on and off the field with being an exceptional talent and also a loving and doting son.
