Saints sign G Landon Turner, make high school dream a reality - New Orleans Saints Blog- ESPN


Dang it now I have to pull for the kid. Looks like it was meant to be.

And for those that parrot the "he can't pass block" narrative...

From PFF - Saints UDFA Landon Turner had the Fourth-best pass blocking efficiency (98.6) among ACC guards

Re: Landon Turner
 

I've watched a lot of game tape on the guy and he just doesn't look pretty. Of course, Strief doesn't look nimble either, and he's got the job done for a long time.

Playing for UNC I figured his pass blocking would be top notch. They had a wide open offense.

Re: Landon Turner
 

I think he's adequate at pass blocking, he's just butt ugly doing it.

Re: Landon Turner
 

Too funny Danno. Let's see how he looks in black and gold. Everyone looks better in black and gold.

Re: Landon Turner
 

I think he'll be fine. He's not a dancing bear but UNC average what 220+ yards rushing per game last season? The kid was a big part of that. Plus, we don't need him to come in and be a star, we just need him to come in, earn a spot and do the job. That's it.

This could be the steal of the UDFA

Re: Landon Turner
 

All americans and such so starter is there some where.
North Carolina G Landon Turner
Michigan State center Jack Allen

Solid backup with possible starter
Auburn OT Avery Young,
BYU OT/G Ryker Matthews,

The others i know little about
Texas A&M G Joseph Cheek,
Boise State C Marcus Henry

The one I am keeping an eye on is
BYU OT/G Ryker Matthews


So we could get two new roster faces or maybe 3 for the OL?

Re: Landon Turner
 

I agree. Efficiency is the only important thing when it comes to playing football, you don't score extra points for being flashy.
