Turner: Aldon 'wide-eyed, all ears' with ex-49ers LB Haley

It’s really cool to see that Aldon has a great respect and appreciation for Charles, and that he feels he can learn something from his tutelage.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith is looking to take his game to the next level in 2015 when he enters his fifth year as a pro.

On and off the field, the All-Pro pass rusher has taken advantage of all available resources, most notably Pro Football Hall of Famer Charles Haley.

And a former teammate of Haley's, four-time Super Bowl champion linebacker Keena Turner, has had a front row seat to this blossoming relationship between mentor and protégé.
