The Minnesota Vikings have been going through the final day of phase three of Organized Team Activities. Despite being able to have practices, the players can't have physical contact which makes doing a full evaluation difficult.
One player that has been standing out is first-round pick edge rusher Dallas Turner. His rare movement skills have been on full display and it stood out to star left tackle Christian Darrisaw.
Turner isn't just a great athlete, but he showed Darrisaw a quicker spin move than Danielle Hunter's.
Vikings LT Christian Darrisaw said Dallas Turner is going to be special. Said Turner put a spin move on someone last week, and CD said the Turner spin move was “quicker than Danielle’s.”

“I was, like, holy #%£€.”
Yes, you read that right. That kind of comparison is going to draw a lot of eyeballs because Hunter has been one of the best pass rushers over the last decade. One of Hunter's biggest issues was how methodically he rushed the passer at times. It wasn't always a bad thing, but in Brian Flores' defense, getting off the ball quickly and attacking fast is really important and something that Turner thrives.
Turner is going to make waves for the Vikings and he could very well win Defensive Rookie of the Year.
