Vikings Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores also has noticed Turner’s growth in multiple facets.
Flores also echoed Turner’s comments about transitioning from college to the pros.
“Nobody talks about that rookie season where you’re in college and then you’re training and then it’s, you know, combine and then it’s the draft and then you jump right in and, you know, new everything: new house, new ride to work, new everything,” Flores said. “So he’s much more comfortable, I would say, in this environment. He knows what the expectations are. He’s got a high standard for himself, and that’s a great place to start.
“But he also knows he’s got to work a significant amount to get to that standard – I think all of our guys do,” Flores continued. “And he’s come in and really gotten into a routine that, I think, is going to allow him to put his best foot forward and put himself in position to have the type of season that he wants to have and the type of season we want him to have. So [it’s] all positive with him.”
Looking ahead at training camp, preseason and his second regular season, Turner is excited for what’s to come, while also refraining from putting too much pressure on himself.
“I don’t really want to put any expectations on Year 2. I just want to let the work speak for itself. You know, going into Year 2 with all the knowledge and tools I have now,” he said. “[Primarily] being the best Viking I possibly could be, fitting [in] our defense in whatever way they need me to. Just being a productive member of the building.”
