21 career sacks in 50 games — that's 0.42 sacks per game from an interior 3-rd-round pick. The rookie year (7 sacks) wasn't a one-off. The age-25 year (8 sacks) was actually a step forward. The 2025 number is slightly lower (6) but the pressure rate held: 43 career QB hits, almost a hit per game.
He out-sacked every defender in his draft class not named Will Anderson Jr.
Rare2023 draft class DL/DT — career sacks
| Player | Round | Pick | Career Sacks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Will Anderson Jr. | 1 | 3 | 28 |
| Kobie Turner | 3 | 89 | 21 |
| Will McDonald IV | 1 | 15 | 19 |
| Bryan Bresee | 1 | 29 | 13 |
| Jalen Carter | 1 | 9 | 12 |
| Tyree Wilson | 1 | 7 | 11 |
| Calijah Kancey | 1 | 19 | 11 |
Drafted 89th overall, ahead of him on the career sack list is only the No. 3 overall pick. Turner has more career sacks than Jalen Carter (No. 9), Tyree Wilson (No. 7), Calijah Kancey (No. 19), and every other interior DL taken in his class. The 3rd-round value is one of the bigger draft steals of the last five years.
He's been the engine of the Rams pass rush since Aaron Donald retired.
SplitTurner share of LAR team sacks
| Year | Sacks | Team Sacks | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 7 | 41 | 17.1% |
| 2024 | 8 | 38 | 21.1% |
| 2025 | 6 | 47 | 12.8% |
In 2024 — Aaron Donald's first season retired — Turner was responsible for over a fifth of the Rams' team sacks in his sophomore year. The 2025 share drops because Jared Verse's edge production exploded (27 QB hits) and the LAR team total jumped to 47, but Turner's absolute number stayed in the same neighborhood. He's the steady interior anchor in a young, deep front.
Six career 2-sack games in 50 games played — peak game frequency for interior DTs.
MilestoneTop single-game sack performances
| Year | Wk | Opp | Sacks |

| 2023 | 12 | vs ARI | 2 |
Five 2-sack games across his first three seasons. That's a 10% rate of multi-sack games — exceptional for an interior DT. The 2024 Week 5 game vs Green Bay (2 sacks, 2 TFL) and the 2025 Week 12 game vs Tampa Bay (2 sacks against an elite OL) are the signature outings.
In 2024-25 combined, only Simmons and Williams match him as true interior players in the top 15.

14 sacks across 2024 and 2025 puts him in the top 15 league-wide at his position group — and almost everyone above him is a dedicated edge rusher. Among pure 3-techs, only Simmons and Williams (both veterans on much larger contracts) have outpaced him over the last two years.
