āNext person up now is, Iām gonna say it now: Dallas Turner. When heās on and heās dialed in on the game plan, the kid is a bottle of explosion. The guy is literall a 4.4 (40-yard dash) guy, and heās only just breaking the surface of how heās going to be in this league, but thatās who Iām taking care of next. You know, Iām watching real close. Iām still going to be talking to him the same way, like, listen, XYZ has to happen or this is not going to happen. Just the little, small things you got to have when youāre dealing with a young guy like that, because they donāt know as much as they are mature when you talk to them, you talk to good game, they still donāt know what they donāt know yet. And I think thatās the part where heās going to take this big, big step. You see him kind of do a little bit towards the last season, and now this point shoot, I said itās time. Now itās your time to show team. You need to go ahead and make that happen. So Iāll be looking real close for him, and I know itās gonna get done because the boy a dog too.ā

Turner emerged in a big way when asked to play the role of Turner. He notched a team high 8.0 sacks and finished second in pressures with 42. What stood out with Turner wasnāt the flash plays, it was how his baseline of success significantly improved. He needed to add a lot of core strength after his first season and he did just that.
Turner is going into his age 23 season and is primed to have a massive breakout, something that many believed he would have already had. One thing to remember: they took Turner over Jared Verse for this reason. Heās theoretically going to be better than Verse was as a 24-year-old rookie one year before he approaches that age.
We can talk about it until we are blue in the face, but it hits different when his teammate of the last two years says so.
