Former Alabama standout player Dallas Turner is preparing for the upcoming 2024 NFL draft. Experts believe that he is the top edge rusher in the class, so it’s his spot to lose in the draft process.
Recently, ESPN draft experts got together to reveal their positional rankings for the upcoming draft. When it came to the edge rusher position, all four experts had Turner at No. 1.
In his first two seasons in Tuscaloosa, Turner posted strong numbers as an underclassman at Alabama. As a freshman, he had 30 tackles, 8.5 sacks and a single fumble recovery. In his sophomore season, he totaled 37 tackles, four sacks, one fumble recovery and a defensive touchdown.
However, his numbers significantly improved as a junior in 2023, which can be attributed to the fact that Will Anderson Jr. had left the program for the NFL. Last season, Turner had 53 tackles, 10 sacks and two forced fumbles. He was a force to be reckoned with.
There is still some time before the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, and Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow the process as key dates approach.
