Best Twitter reactions to Bengals drafting DJ Turner in second round
With the 60th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals selected DJ Turner. The Michigan defensive back reunites with his college teammate Dax Hill and now the Bengals will have one of the fastest secondaries in the NFL.
The Bengals are clearly making sure that their young secondary can make up for their youth with speed. They valued this in last year's draft with the selections of Hill, Cam Taylor-Britt, and Tycen Anderson and now have continued to prove they have the need for speed with the addition of Turner, who ran the 40 in 4.26 seconds. Sheesh!
Whether you're a fan of Twitter or not, you can't deny that some of the best draft night reactions come from the bird app. Let's take a look at some of the best tweets surrounding the Bengals taking Turner with their second-round selection.

DJ Turners biggest knock is he’s undersized, but he’s a technically sound CB with good coverage skills and the athleticism to back it up

Two things stick out with the Bengals secondary:

DJ Turner 4.26💨
Dax Hill 4.38💨
Cam Taylor-Britt 4.38💨
Tycen Anderson 4.36💨
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.

"When you draft someone in Cincinnati, you have to grab someone who knows how to win in the state of Ohio." – Rich Eisen on DJ Turner
