LA Rams rookie sensations Kobie Turner, Byron Young chase sacks and history together
Associated PressTHOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Kobie Turner and Byron Young trained together for months before the Los Angeles Rams drafted them 12 picks apart in the third round. It’s kind of crazy how all this is falling together.” Their competition for the rookie sacks title is decidedly friendly: Turner leads all rookies with nine sacks after racking up 2 1/2 last weekend against the Giants, while Young is tied with Houston’s Will Anderson in second place with seven. I’m super excited to just be his teammate, and I know he’s excited for me as well, so it’s really cool to chase after that goal with a really good friend and keep going back and forth.” They’re also competing for the Rams’ rookie sacks record: Turner’s nine sacks have tied the mark set nearly a decade ago by Aaron Donald, the seven-time All-Pro. We’re just building together.” Turner and Young already knew each other before they arrived on the West Coast because they had been preparing for the draft at Exos outside Pensacola, Florida. Turner and Young have been boosted by Donald’s presence and by Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris’ schemes, but they’ve still achieved more than even the most optimistic talent evaluators expected.
