Packers bring in Malik Turner for a visit
The former Seahawks wide receiver had a try-out in Green Bay back in 2018.

Demovsky has the goods:
The Packers had WR Malik Turner in for a visit today, per source. Was with the Seahawks last year.

The Packers already have some familiarity with Turner as he was among a group of try out players during 2018's mini camp after going undrafted out of Illinois.
Last season for Seattle, Turner played in 15 regular season games and tallied 15 catches, 245 yards, a 68.2 percent catch rate, averaging 16.3 yards per reception, with one touchdown.
Packers fans may remember him mostly for a killer drop he had on Seattle's final drive during the 2019 Divisional Playoff game in Lambeau Field.
On the positive side, when he does secure the football, he has excellent yards-after-the-catch ability.
We'll see if Brian Gutekunst pulls the trigger on augmenting the receiver position.

Malik Turner was a great player for some time but now he is mediocre. I am writing a paper on best sports players for https://paperwriter.com/ and I won't include Malik there. He is a great guy though, must have been good in college
