Paul Turner

This one was an obvious one. Most fans of “the birds” should be pretty familiar with this name now. Turner’s been turning heads all off-season, and it’s carried over into the second pre-season game. Turner was targeted three times and caught the ball all three times to gain 44 yards. One of those catches included a beautiful one-handed grab that the announcer described as “OBJ territory”.

Turners route running and consistent hands have shown he’s a capable receiver. Turner received a few reps with both the first and second team offenses. It will be interesting to see which unit Pederson and his staff have him play with next week.
