HC Ron Rivera makes the case that Turner is very worthy:
"When you see how athletic he is and his ability to do those types of things, you really see his value for us," head coach Ron Rivera said during the season. "That's important to have that kind of flexibility but also have the willingness to do it. That sends a great message to everybody in that locker room, that guys are going to do whatever they can to help us win a football game. That's impressive."
He's certainly the kind of player you want in the locker room. Congrats to Trai for the recognition of his superior play. He won't be a lone Panther on the roster.
Turner, who was named to his first Pro Bowl last year, will join tight end Greg Olsen, linebacker Thomas Davis and fullback Mike Tolbert for the game on January 29 in Orlando. Linebacker Luke Kuechly was also selected, but he will not attend.
