Raiders have met with best cornerback at NFL Combine

During the 2024 NFL Draft Combine, the Las Vegas Raiders and every other team are in Indianapolis to watch the players perform drills, get their measurables done, and answer questions in front of media and that the teams ask.

One of the Raiders' biggest needs, outside of quarterback, of course, is cornerback, in which the Raiders will have plenty of guys to choose from. In this case, they could end up with the best cornerback in the draft at pick No. 13 in, Terrion Arnold, who is amazing everyone at the NFL Combine with just his interviews.

The Raiders have already met with him, and when he told the media how the interview went, he said Antonio Pierce asked him if he was an energetic guy.

"You know I'm an energetic guy; watch the tape," Arnold said.

He was later asked another question in regard to what motivates him.

"At Alabama in 2022, my redshirt freshman year, we played Tennessee, and I got benched. It changed everything for me," Arnold said. "That right there, I like to say it's my Michael Jordan moment. I write it down every day. Eli Ricks, that's my brother, but I mean, when I got benched and replaced by him, that motivated me. I write it down every day and say I refuse to let that ever happen again. That's what's going to lead me and help me get that gold jacket, and I'm not talking about the ones you can buy."

Favorite scouting combine interview so far: Bama DB Terrion Arnold.

Uber confident but also affable.

When he met w the Colts, they showed him a coverage, then asked him to draw it up. Asked him if he needed to take notes. “Nope,” he said. “I only have to see something once.” pic.twitter.com/VQvmqKBcTg

You can see how he comes off as a humble but confident guy, very similar to Antonio Pierce and the Raiders. He would look perfect in Silver and Black, and he's very good.

If he's there at 13, I firmly believe the Raiders have to go and get him.

-Great at mirroring routes
-Good size for outside CB
-Great run support CB
-Good at playing the ball in the air, aggressive on the point of attack
-Quality press, can def be better but is serviceable, great zone#Raiders | #RaiderNation https://t.co/dwWAsy1dmW
