Alabama defensive end Dallas Turner has been taken in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft by the Minnesota Vikings with the 17th overall pick. Turner was the second Alabama player taken during the first round tonight, and the Vikings traded up to land the great pass rusher. Turner’s NFL jersey is available now on the Fanatics website.

Turner was a ferocious defender during his time with the Alabama Crimson Tide, leading the team with 10 sacks during his final season in 2023.

Alongside his numerous sacks, Turner forced two fumbles during this past season.

Many had Turner’s name being called in the top 10 of the first round of this year’s draft, so his 17th overall selection was surprising. The draft has been nearly all offensive players, with Turner being just the second defensive player picked.
