Look at their numbers and explain it to me. Turner and Landry are the same height, but Turner is thicker, stronger, and faster. He plays in one of the top programs in the nation so exposure isn't a problem.

Landry: 5'11" 185 4.55 40 4.42 shuttle vert 27.3
Turner: 5'11" 190 4.45 40 4.12 shuttle vert 36.5

We've all seen both of their highlight videos. I'm not saying Turner is 100% better than Landry. I'm asking why there is such a HUGE gap between the two in recruiting hype.


ETA: Turner has a 4.0 so grades definitely aren't an issue.

You are such a WM homer.

Landry is just a better football player than Turner. Sorry.

I think if Turner were playing a position at WM that he will play in college, things would be different...

but then again, McGee is getting plenty of love...so who knows.

you can just look at the video and see that Turner does not have Landry's ability. Throw out all the measurables you want, but he's simply not on Landry's level.

Landry blew everyone up at camps over the summer against the nations elite... What did Turner do to counter this and put himself in the same conversation? I actually think Turner is a very good athlete(maybe at safety), but have seen zero evidence that he is on Landry's level at WR
