Superstar in the making. Maybe instead of bitching about a tepid O we bask in the glory of this future All Pro and I’m sure DPOTY at some stage.

I'm not sure I'm still seeing a bunch of Derrick Thomas in DT...
15 seems to be his own man. Maybe the scheme differences?
What say u???
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Not sure who could have saw this coming with Turner. I would have to think hard.
By years end he will be the best pass rusher for the 2026 season. It sure is looking that way. People bitched about Greenard. Some just wanted to see Turner finally have his shot. This defense is super fun to watch. There is no doubt. It is hard to get fully bought in with how inept the O is though. Which may change. I hope it can.

Measurables and production. School .
Games are very similar, maybe Derrick used power a little more often. You tell me.

I think Dallas is a more fluid athlete. Derrick a little more stout. I still remember on draft day saying he’d be a future ring of honor, DPOTY, multiple all pro. Starting to look prophetic.
