Cornerback DJ Turner is the third Michigan Wolverine to hear his name called in the 2023 NFL Draft, as he was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round. He joins former Michigan safety Dax Hill, who is coming off his rookie season with Cincinnati.
Here are some of the best social media reactions from Turner being drafted.
A friendly reminder of how fast he is

The Bengals go with CB DJ Turner.

The scouting report starts with his 4.26 40-yard dash. This goes away from the Bengals prioritizing length at corner (he has 30 3/4 inch arms). But Turner was Michigan's Dax Hill this year. He always ends up making plays.
