Dallas Turner becomes third defender taken in 2024 NFL Draft

After going No. 17 overall in the first round, Dallas Turner is hauling in a massive payday. Per Spotrac, Turner is expected to earn a four-year, fully-guaranteed $15.7 million contract with the Vikings, including an $8.2 million signing bonus and a fifth-year option in 2028.

In the 2023 campaign, Turner was named a first-team All-American by CBS Sports, The Athletic and USA Today after recording 53 tackles, a team-high 14.5 tackles for loss and 10 sacks which led the SEC. He was named a finalist for the Bednarik Award, which is presented to the nation’s top defender. 

One of Turner’s best games from last season was against Ole Miss where he had 3.5 tackles for loss and two sacks. He also stood out in the SEC Championship game against the Georgia Bulldogs, tallying a sack and four tackles to help Alabama take down the Bulldogs who haven’t lost a game since the 2021 SEC Championship.

Turner played high school football at St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he was a five-star recruit. He ranked as the No. 9 overall prospect and the No. 2 edge rusher in the 2021 class, according to the On3 Industry Rating, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
