Bowen: WR Turner making strong case with Eagles

FOOTBALL IS about so much more than measurables. It's about what you do with the chances you get. This is a trite lesson by now, but it's driven home every preseason.

For the Eagles this summer, the wide receiver who has made the biggest splash is undrafted rookie Paul Turner, an unimposing 5-10, 193-pounder from Louisiana Tech, who ran a 4.55 40 on his pro day.

"He's just one of those guys who does everything right," quarterback Sam Bradford said. "He's always in the right spot. He always finishes tough, contested plays - obviously the catch he made the other night down the sideline was fantastic - but he's one of those guys who each day just seems to get a little bit better.
