He meant everything to every player he coached, but Nick Saban will be in for a treat on night one of the NFL Draft.
Terrion Arnold, a native of Tallahassee, Fla., learned a lot from Saban in three years at the University of Alabama.
He came as a five-star athlete in the 2021 signing class, but Arnold leaves as one of the best defensive backs in his class.
He was at his best last season, collecting a team-high 12 pass breakups and five interceptions. Arnold propelled a defense to a Southeastern Conference Championship, and nearly helped Saban to a national championship. One of the most genuine people of the Saban era will honor the legend on Thursday, April 25 in a salmon suit. The salmon suit is a classic attire of Saban. He wore it for spring games and regular season matchups. It allowed his players to understand he had a sense of style and swagger.
Arnold shared his decision for the salmon suit on The Paul Finebaum Show.

Don’t be surprised if you see a certain SEC Network host wearing a similar suit on Friday. pic.twitter.com/5eijjFbi41

Tide fans are excited to see how he does in the pros.
