From the article

Turner sat at 66 tackles, 8 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and was the 14th-ranked edge defender. This time around, he doesn't have to wait for someone to get hurt. Turner is a talented 23-year-old player in a great situation, with a strong supporting cast. He has barely scratched the surface. I expect he will be a perennial top-twelve guy starting this year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Breakout 2025 season positions Turner as perennial top-12 edge defender.

2024 first-round pick (17th overall) delivered a breakout 2025 season with 66 tackles, 8 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and ranked 14th among edge defenders. The 23-year-old possesses elite athleticism—blazing speed, high explosiveness, and strong upfield burst—backed by strong college production (53 tackles, 10 sacks, 2 forced fumbles as Alabama junior in 2023). With Greenard's departure, Turner now has a clear path to the starting lineup. The source projects him as a perennial top-12 edge defender starting this year with barely scratched surface potential.
