Kobie Turner ‘The Conductor’ is helping Rams’ defense stay in tune for Browns game
LA TimesKobie Turner struck the pose. “It shows like we’re more than just athletes,” Turner said when asked about his sack celebration. And hopefully, other guys might see that and be like, ‘I can be whoever I am.’ ” Rams’ Kobie Turner does his conductor celebration after taking down Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith. “Doing all the things you want to see in a young player, or a player, period.” Said Jones: “He’s always been a dominant run defender, but you can tell he’s just starting to get it.” After receiving little attention coming out of high school in Virginia, Turner — who sings as well as plays piano and guitar — sought a walk-on opportunity or a music scholarship for college. “There’s nothing you can do to make him sensitive about himself,” Morris said, “because he’ll let you know, ‘If that means being in touch with my feelings, coach, I am.’ ” Coach Sean McVay described Turner as “cerebral” and “worldly.” Turner said McVay encourages players to be “the full version of ourselves.” So, he takes McVay at his word.
