Michigan cornerback DJ Turner has been flying under the radar of most NFL draft analysts, but he may be changing some opinions after his performance at the Scouting Combine today. Turner unofficially ran the 40-yard dash in 4.27 seconds, making him the fastest cornerback in the draft and one of the fastest players so far at this year’s Combine.
The 180-pound Turner is undersized for a cornerback, but his speed will certainly draw the attention of teams looking for an athletic defender. Last season at Michigan, Turner was a second-team All-Big Ten cornerback, but he also gave up too many big plays. His speed could help him avoid those mistakes at the next level.
Turner’s 40-yard dash time will certainly draw attention from teams looking to solidify their secondary. He has the potential to be a game-changing player with his speed, and teams will be willing to overlook his size if he can show that he can stay with the top wide receivers in the NFL.
Michigan cornerback DJ Turner has put himself on the radar with his incredible performance at the Combine. His blazing speed may be enough to make him a first-round pick, and he could become a household name if he lives up to his potential.
