We’re 70 days away from the Carolina Panthers 2019 season opener, so today we’ll talk about Pro Bowl offensive guard Trai Turner, who wears the number 70 on his jersey.
Trai Turner, Guard
Bio
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 315 lbs
Age: 26 years
College: LSU
NFL experience: 6 years
Trai Turner has been the most reliable member of the Panthers offensive line for the last few years. Since taking over as the team’s full time starter at right guard in his sophomore season, Turner has played in 58 of a possible 64 games. He’s played well too. He made the Pro Bowl in each of those four seasons in which he was full time starter, even in that awful 2016 season where he had to spend some time at right tackle.
Turner is extraordinarily young for a player entering his sixth season, as he just turned 26 years old. He’s under contract for another three seasons, so it looks like Turner is going to stay a staple on the Panthers front line for many years to come.
