Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is changing his jersey number to honor a deceased friend.

In an appearance on the “New Wave” podcast with Alabama football players Ryan Williams, Jalen Mbakwe, and Dre Kirkpatrick Jr., Arnold said he would be changing his number from zero to six in honor of former Crimson Tide cornerback Khyree Jackson, who was killed in a car accident in Maryland last year at age 24.
