Turner Eric

American football safety who played in the National Football League (NFL) for the Cleveland Browns (1991–1995), Baltimore Ravens (1996) and Oakland Raiders (1997–1999). Turner was originally signed by the New England Patriots on 21 July 1992 after being picked in the third round of the 1992 NFL draft. Two teams later, Turner, with his superior speed and tenacity, found himself as a valuable asset to the Raiders. He was also a valuable asset to the UCLA Bruins team, where he played football in college. As a freshman, Turner was named Rookie-of-the-Year. He went on to earn All-American honours by the end of his career. Turner received a degree in history from UCLA in 1992. Turner died of intestinal cancer at age 31 on 28 May 2000 at Los Robles Regional Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, California. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
