Turner's spin move caught the eye of one of the Vikings' best players.
Vikings rookie edge rusher Dallas Turner is already making quite the impression at OTAs. At a recent practice, he broke out a spin move that caught the eye of one of the best offensive tackles in the NFL — and drew a lofty comparison.The player Darrisaw is referring to is, of course, four-time Pro Bowler Danielle Hunter, who signed with the Texans this offseason after posting 16.5 sacks in his ninth year with the Vikings.
Darrisaw did clarify that Turner put the move on someone else, not on him. "I was like 'holy f***,'" Darrisaw said. "It was one of those." The Vikings have major hopes for Turner, who they traded up to select with the 17th overall pick in last month's draft. The 21-year-old former Alabama star seems to have all of the tools to become a star pass rusher at this level, which would be massive for Brian Flores' defense. He's long and powerful, he's a remarkable athlete, and he's continuing to develop more and more moves to get to the quarterback.
"I think Dallas is gonna be special," Darrisaw said. "His explosiveness . He has that burst, he's quick."Thanks for reading.
