CFL Draft

[edit]

Turner turned heads at the CFL Evaluation Camp after he broke the E-Camp record of 4.39 seconds for the 40-yard dash by recording his own mark of 4.31 seconds. The previous record had been set by former teammate Jamall Lee at the previous year's E-Camp. Turner finished in first or at least tied for first in the 40-yard dash, the shuttle, the vertical leap and the standing broad leap[1] After his impressive performance at the E-Camp, he was ranked as the 14th best player available in the 2010 CFL Draft in the Canadian Football League’s Amateur Scouting Bureau rankings.[2] On May 2, 2010, Turner was selected with the 30th overall pick by the Toronto Argonauts in the 2010 CFL Draft.

Toronto Argonauts

[edit]

Turner signed through the 2012 season with the Argonauts on May 21, 2010.[3][4] On June 7, 2010, Turner ruptured his left Achilles tendon during training camp, leaving his 2010 CFL season debut in doubt.[5] On June 24, 2010, Turner was released by the Argonauts.

On December 7, 2010, Turner was re-signed by the Toronto Argonauts. He was released by the Argonauts on June 8, 2011.
