Murray made the Pro Bowl in 2020 and 2021 when Turner was the assistant quarterback’s coach and then the quarterback’s coach. Murray was in his second NFL season when he appeared in his first Pro Bowl.
Turner’s expertise at the quarterback position will come at the right time for the Colts. The Colts, who currently own the number four draft pick, are expected to take a quarterback in the first round. Turner could help teach the rookie quarterback how to elevate their skills in the NFL.
Turner will work under new Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter. Cooter has had experience coaching NFL quarterback’s such as Peyton Manning, Matthew Stafford, and Trevor Lawrence.
