He's a dual-threat prospect that rushed for 286 yd, averaged over 9 yds per carry with 3&nbsp; rushing touchdowns. Turner had a strong spring and with some key pieces returning, I expect the Sharks to make big strides in 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Strengths:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Flashes really good arm talent&nbsp;</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Extremely comfortable throwing on the run with accuracy&nbsp;</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Quick release&nbsp;</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11981064/Aaron-Turner">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11981064/Aaron-Turner</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --></blockquote> <!-- /wp:quote -->
