“ Keith Turner Keith Turner AL III is one of my favorite new players in our 2027 Rankings. He’s a dominant coverage DB who can line up and produce at a high level at both CB and S. Turner has great size, speed, hands, and ball skills that he uses to locate, break up, and intercept passes all over the field.

As a high-IQ player in zone coverage Turner knows exactly when to break off routes while constantly keeping good positioning.
