| Strengths | Very tall, long-limbed receiver who improved steadily throughout his career. Freakishly strong hands. Seizes the ball from the air and secures it quickly and strongly right away, almost never bobbles the ball. Shows good feet in route running for a tall guy. Presents himself as a target well. Not afraid to leave himself exposed to catch an off-target throw. Has experience running pro-style routes. Uses his hands and size well to create space. Showed in Mobile that he can turn up the speed to go get a long throw. Consistent professional effort and attitude.
|
| Weaknesses | The track record for tall Trojan wideouts is dreadful, and Turner doesn't play as fast as Mike Williams, Keary Colbert or Dwayne Jarrett before him -- though it should be pointed out his attitude and demeanor are nothing like those three. Runs very upright and does not jump well for a tall guy, fails to bend his knees when he jumps. Very hit and miss as a blocker. Has no moves with the ball other than a nice stiff arm. Needs to build upper-body strength.
