2024 NFL Draft Prospects: Outside Linebacker

3/7/23: With Will Anderson commanding attention on the other side in 2021, Turner had a phenomenal freshman debut for the Crimson Tide and showed serious pass rush potential - collecting 8.5 sacks. He also had 30 tackles and was rotating with other defenders. In 2022, Turner collected 37 tackles and four sacks, but he was far more disruptive than the numbers indicate. He has a good skill set with upside.

3/7/23: Bennett enjoyed a breakout 2022 season with seven sacks, 34 tackles and two forced fumbles. He showed vast improvement over his underclassmen seasons. Bennett could stand to get stronger for the NFL. He will need to at least stay consistent with, if not build on, his 2022 season in 2023 to be an early-round prospect for the 2024 NFL Draft.
