Wolverine Wednesday: DJ is Spinning a First Round Beat

Related Topics: Tony Petitti, Ann Arbor

It seems we didn't know a ton about DJ Turner when he was in Ann Arbor. My take was, he is a solid DB but struggled on 50/50 balls. When he turned pro, I got a text from a buddy that said, "what do you think 4-6 round guy"?

Something happened on the way to those rounds and DJ ran a blazing fast 4.26 40 at the combine. He is now a "hot name" in the NFL Draft and could even find his way into the 1st Round. If Michigan was going to get into the first round, I expected it to be Mazi Smith and his freak athleticism.
