Scouting Report: Strengths
- Turner has long arms and displays good power in his hands, which gives him the ability to slip off blocks. As a run defender, Turner has the speed to chase down ball carriers in pursuit.
- He shows impressive burst and enough quickness to occasionally threaten the edge as a pass rusher.
- He’s quick to react and locate the ball, and he shows enough speed to succeed in backside pursuit. He plays with excellent balance and a strong, flexible core, rarely ending up on the ground.
- He has violent hands and the long arms to ward off blockers. Turner plays with a good pad level and can win with power as a bull rusher.
- He’s a high-effort pass rusher with an impressive combination of length and speed.
- Combines strength and footwork to fill holes inside, as well. Recovers from cut blocks or falling on his way to make a tackle.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Misses tackles, even when Turner gets his hands on the ballcarrier. Needs to improve hand placement and technique.
- Turner is on the short side, and he too often relies on his ability to overpower blockers rather than developing a repertoire of pass-rush moves.
- He lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. Turner lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
