Taking a look at every penalty Lions rookie Terrion Arnold has committed to see if officials are being too hard on him and what the easy fix is

Detroit Lions rookie Terrion Arnold has had an up and down start to his NFL career these past four weeks. On one hand we’ve seen some encouraging things that show that he is going to be the player we all expect him to be. On the other hand he leads the league in defensive penalties with eight. That is a lot. 

Last week I suggested that the Lions dial him back a bit and have him come off the bench for a couple weeks while he works on technique and some Lions fans weren’t too happy about that idea. One of the biggest complaints was that most, if not all, of his penalties are ticky tacky and weak. 

Maybe they’re right. Maybe the officials are picking on Arnold. So I went and clipped each penalty. Let’s take a look together and make some rulings. 

Week 1: Defensive pass interference
