Former Alabama defensive back, Terrion Arnold is switching to No. 6 with the Detroit Lions to honor Khyree Jackson.
Jackson and Arnold played together in Alabama before Jackson took his talents to Oregon and was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings. Jackson tragically passed away in a car accident before he was able to play a football game for the Vikings.
Arnold plans to keep his teammate’s name alive through the number change.
