We're coming up on a year since on the Paul Turner Experience began, and the shame of it is, the poor guy never got to enjoy being a folk hero while he was becoming a folk hero.
Remember training camp 2016 and the crazy buzz about how Turner - this too-small, too-slow, undrafted rookie out of Louisiana Tech - might have been the Eagles' best wide receiver? Remember the preseason, when he made a one-handed, back-shoulder, circus catch against the Steelers and returned a punt 71 yards for a touchdown against the Jets? Remember that Dec. 4 game in Cincinnati, when the best thing about the Eagles in their 32-14 loss to the Bengals was Turner, his six catches and his 80 receiving yards?
