Alabama Crimson Tide star Terrion Arnold went viral during the NFL Scouting Combine on Friday, and for one of the most heartwarming reasons.
While being interviewed, Arnold took the chance to send a beautiful message to his mom as he thanked her for all the work she did and sacrifices she had to make to allow him reach the point where he is today.
Alabama Crimson Tide Star Terrion Arnold’s Powerful Message
In the tear-jerking moment, Arnold shared how his mom had to deal with a lot of adversity while raising him. He noted how several people counted her out and criticized her, but in the end, she proved all her doubters wrong by raising Arnold to be a great and loving young man.
And that much is evident in the Scouting Combine.
“Mom if you’re watching this right now, your son just wants to say how proud he is of you. You had me at a young age and you overcame a lot of adversity. People were doubting you, people were counting you out and honestly, ma like I always tell you, you raised a star,” Arnold shared, via NFL.
Arnold also promised his mom that he will work hard to fulfill a dream that is not only his but also his mother’s, saying “I’m gonna continue to keep shining, just how you raised me to be. I’ll never forget where I came from.”
Arnold is one step away from making it to the NFL, and he has certainly done enough to be a first-round selection this coming April’s rookie selection.
The 20-year-old cornerback is projected to be a mid-first round pick. In fact, Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN has him going at no. 15 to the Indianapolis Colts in his latest mock draft.
Sure enough, it will be a proud moment for Arnold and his mom once he officially enters the pros.
Alabama Crimson Tide CB Terrion Arnold Has Bold Aspirations
Sure enough, Terrion Arnold’s mom didn’t just a raise a fine man. She definitely instilled confidence in her kid, and a lot of it.
Earlier during the NFL Scouting Combine, Arnold also went viral after sharing his bold aspirations for his NFL career, highlighting his desire to be a Pro Football Hall of Famer.
“I write it down every day and say I refuse to ever let that happen again. And that’s what’s going to lead me and take me to getting that gold jacket, which is the Hall of Fame. The gold jacket, and I ain’t talking about the one you could buy,” Arnold said on Thursday.
That’s definitely what every team wants to hear from a player they are looking to draft. And Arnold has certainly gotten the attention of a lot of people.
Once he steps foot on the NFL, plenty of eyes will be on him for sure as he looks to live up to the massive expectations. But with the way he was raised by his mom, there’s no adversity that can slow him down for sure.
