Turner (6’3/290) served as a versatile chess piece who played all over the line, focusing mostly on edge for the first three years before moving to three tech in 2024. He was a major factor on the outside in 2023 creating 36 pressures, 6.0 sacks, a 15% pressure rate and an 80th percentile pass rush grade, earning Second Team All-SEC recognition. Turner suffered a stress fracture after bulking up for the move to defensive tackle, but played through it well enough to be graded positively on 24% of his run game snaps with 19 stops. His biggest issue was his tendency to abandon gap responsibilities and over run plays, leading to a sky-high 23.3% missed tackle rate and 31st percentile tackle grade. Somewhat undersized for an NFL three tech, Turner is at his best when parrying blockers’ hands to free himself up and pursue the play. A relentless competitor who prefers to slash his way into the backfield as opposed to bulldoze his way to it, Turner lacks the base necessary to defeat double teams.
