He performed well at the NFL Scouting Combine and his pro day for the Tide. NFL scouts love Arnold’s aggressiveness, physicality, toughness, and ball skills. He plays with confidence on the boundary and many would argue Arnold had a better junior season than his teammate, Ga’Quincy “Kool-Aid” McKinstry. Both project as first-rounders by most draft pundits.
It will be interesting to see when Arnold’s name come off the board.
