As a rookie, Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold wore No. 0. He has made a change for 2025, as a tribute to a former teammate.
Via Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com, Arnold will wear No. 6 in honor of Khyree Jackson. Jackson, who played with Arnold at Alabama, died last July in a car accident.
Jackson wore No. 6 at Alabama. He transferred to Oregon before being selected by the Vikings in the fourth round of last year’s draft.
“We all know what happened to my friend Khyree and I just feel like just being able to honor his legacy and then the impact that he even had on me,” Arnold said on the New Wave Podcast.
