Teams can never have enough good cornerbacks on the roster in the modern game of football, as teams pass the ball more than in the past. Fortunately, head coach Nick Saban has two fascinating cornerback prospects who the Alabama Crimson Tide may select in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Even though Kool-Aid McKinstry and Terrion Arnold’s play has helped the Crimson Tide, they still need to figure out a means to replace their productivity come 2024. Following three years at Alabama, McKinstry is anticipated to add his name to the draft.
As of right now, Arnold has committed to an agency and plans to enter the draft following Alabama’s season, according to NFL Draft source Tony Pauline.
Although Arnold isn’t quite as highly regarded as McKinstry, he is still one of the top cornerback prospects expected to pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Arnold is now thought to be a first-round talent, and he might be selected with the first pick if he has a good performance in the College Football Playoffs.
