Cincinnati Bengals rookie cornerback DJ Turner has been one of the bigger surprises of the season so far.
Shoved into a starting role after veteran Chidobe Awuzie dealt with a back injury early in the season, Turner has been involved in quite a few big plays and held up well in coverage.
The results have been encouraging and paint a good picture for the long-term status of the secondary for him across from Cam Taylor-Britt.
But ask Turner? He attributes much of his success to the veterans in the room who have helped him get to this point, as he made sure to highlight in a video from the Bengals on social media:
“Everyone’s helping each other out. Mike Thomas, Chido, Cam… all the stuff I've put in play, it came from them.”
