Sucks he never got his chance here. I had totally forgotten about him and never thought he'd end up on an NFL roster.

Doug Pederson is from Monroe and Paul Turner is from West Monroe...there is the connection.

Another WR who didn't want to wait his turn.

He never would have broke through at LSU.

They must be in dire need of someone to run routes

He played quite a bit last year for the dogs...Is a great athlete but was wasting his time trying to play at LSU...Glad to see him getting a shot in the NFL...

Was he in the same recruiting class with Odell and Jarvis?

He was a project here at LSU. Not the best environment for projects. I expected with time and physical maturity, he would blossom. Late bloomer, but he's making it count.

Turner decided to transfer to Louisiana Tech, where he recorded a total of 87 catches and seven touchdowns in two seasons.
Sounds like he didn't get much of a "chance" at LaTech either.

87 catches over two years. Not great numbers in a spread

He went to NLU, don't think he was from Louisiana, let alone Monroe, though.

87 catches is a lot. I'd say their offense is more multiple than solid spread. Kenneth Dixon was an incredible running back. I watched him score like 7 tds in 1 game. Turner had a solid career at LA Tech.

no tie in Paul Turner is a tremendous talent. He just may win a position with the Eagles.
