Linebacker
3rd Round
Southern
"Drafted third, Turk is 'much like Dick Butkus' say the reports. 'Our scouts say he has a chance to start and even become a superstar,' says Charley Winner. Turk has unusual quickness (4.75) and can play any of the three linebacker posts. He was All-SWAC three years in a row and played in the Senior Bowl where he impressed the Jets.
Named to the Black All-America team, Godwin transferred from California after one year. He broke Isiah Robertson's record at Southern with 123 unassisted tackles as sophomore. His career totals show him credited with 239 unassisted tackles, 93 assists and four interceptions.
His brother plays for Lamar Tech. Godwin majored in physical education and works as a student teacher. His hometown is Houston, Texas."
