The transition from college to the NFL is always a challenge for any rookie. The speed of the game changes dramatically and players have to be in top physical condition.
Lions first-round rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold is in great shape but even he quickly realized conditioning in the NFL is no joke. Arnold took to TikTok to share his experience from his first conditioning test. Lions rookies reported to camp Saturday while veterans are reporting Tuesday.
Arnold also went around to other players, including second-round cornerback Ennis Rakestraw, for their quick thoughts on the conditioning test that was taken over the weekend, which is a good way to make sure players have stayed in shape after being off for over a month following OTAs and minicamp.
Arnold is likely going to start opposite Carlton Davis at cornerback with Rakestraw and Amik Robertson among the reserves. His first step towards that starting spot was showing the coaches he didn’t slack off during the summer.
Arnold also said if “y’all blow this up, I’ll keep dropping more for y’all.”
