Bengals rival robbed DJ Turner of Pro Bowl bid despite elite season

The Cincinnati Bengals haven't had many bright spots throughout this disappointing 5-10 season, but lockdown cornerback DJ Turner is indubitably one of them.

While Dalton Risner is the leader in the clubhouse for best offseason acquisition, the most pleasant surprise within the building is Turner. Well, not terribly surprising to me, since I believe the Bengals lucked out to get him in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Would've gone for him Day 1.

After a rookie season of growing pains and a promising 2024 derailed by a broken collarbone, Turner ascended to elite status in Year 3.
