Twitter reactions: Cincinnati Bengals selected DJ Turner
Michigan football has had three players selected in the 2023 NFL draft.
Mazi Smith and Luke Schoonmaker were selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the first and second rounds, respectively. Later in the second round, with the 60th pick, the Cincinnati Bengals took the Wolverines’ cornerback DJ Turner.
There was talk of Turner leaping into the first round with his 40 time, but Turner went in the third round to the Bengals.
Last year, Cinciannti took Michigan’s Daxton Hill in the first round, so he will team with his former teammate in the secondary.
As usual, Twitter had its say on the matter. Here are the best Twitter reactions to Turner landing with the Bengals.

The @Bengals defense is gonna be scary next year. DJ Turner is the second best man to man corner in the draft in my opinion. He is tough and he can absolutely fly. With unreal change of direction ability. A real Island type corner.

A third Wolverine — CB DJ Turner — goes in the top 60. He’s landing in Cincinnati to play for the Bengals.

DJ Turner has some of the best hips and athleticism in the class. Does a great job of utilizing the sideline and has very good ball skills. Love the pick. pic.twitter.com/kqDT4AnQzu
