Daron Arnold's New Year's resolution is the same every year; break out of his step brother Aaron Donald's shadow and become a household name in his own right. His Christmas gift this year was a strong first step along that path. Whereas Aaron Donald had to wait until the 13th pick in the NFL to be drafted, Daron Arnold was taken 3rd overall with the ISFL. Even when you go proportionately instead of purely by number that draft placement solidly beats the more famous step brother.
The next step is to prove that his draft capital was no fluke. Despite the draft capital, Arnold was relegated to one more year in the DSFL thanks to a bottleneck at LB in Yellowknife. His mission to outshine Donald in the pros might be on hold, but Arnold can still try to take the DSFL by storm. He already placed 6th in tackles as a rookie. Next step is to lead the league while compiling some turnovers and sacks. He can't allow his momentum to fade as he goes into his second year in the DSFL.
