The comp I was referring to was a graphic (by Colts Cast I think) that compared his final two years to Myles Garrett.
Latu weighed 257, Turner was above 250 at his pro day. They have different frames, but they are not that far apart in weight.
Turner just has the upside. In the past, he's the exact type of ER prospect that Ballard would drool over. But he wasn't a project. He was the #1 ER in his HS class, started 3 years at Bama and produced in the SEC (DPOY). Has dominated at every level.
It was certainly a change of approach and I would agree that Partridge had serious input.
The judge will be hearing a motion to set aside the jury verdict, which apparently is allowed in a case like this. That means he could invalidate the verdict if he sees fit. It's worth noting that the judge was highly critical of the plaintiff's case and the way they chose to argue it. I don't know if that means anything, but it's interesting.
It's also interesting that the NFL's appeal would go to the US Ninth Circuit court, which is the same court that reinstated this case after it had been previously dismissed.
