How Payton Turner’s Detroit Lions Deal Could Become the Biggest Steal of the Season
That said, there are some potential upsides to this add. For one, the New Orleans Saints drafted him in the first round due to some serious athletic potential. He’s built well at 6-foot-6, 270 pounds and has the athleticism to go with that size.
Additionally, he did play 16 games in 2024 and had some decent production as a rotational player. In 335 snaps (21 per game), Turner produced 21 tackles, 2.0 sacks, four passes defended, two forced fumbles and a decent 70.8 pass rush grade from PFF.
So, in short, this is a zero-risk signing from the Lions on a player that has good physical traits and one full season of promising production.
