Turner was originally a third-round draft pick by the Miami Dolphins in 2009, and he played collegiately at USC with current Jets teammate Mark Sanchez.
That existing chemistry with Sanchez enabled Turner to find a spot with the Jets after the Dolphins cut ties with him after his rookie year.
Turner scored his first career touchdown in Week 17 of the 2011 season, when he got extended playing time in the finals series when Santonio Holmes was sat down.

February 13, 2012
Considering the disappointment of the 2011 NFL season, I find it fitting to kick off the next few weeks with a rant. Today’s topic is the New York Jets pass rush…or lack thereof.
In 2005, John Abraham had 10.5 sacks for the Jets defense. It is the last time a player on their defense has recorded double digit sacks in a single season. We are on six seasons and counting...

Perhaps the most unsung hero for the Jets over the last three years has been nose tackle Sione Pouha. A third-round pick back in 2005, Pouha is one of the longest tenured Jets, and one...
