Woodny Turenne standing out in Chicago

Good for him.

Woodny Turenne-- Another undrafted free agent making the most of his opportunities, Turenne has displayed some impressive athleticism and toughness. Although he's behind Charles Tillman, Nathan Vasher and Zack Bowman, he's put some pressure on Trumaine McBride, D.J. Moore and Marcus Hamilton for the fourth cornerback slot. Even if he doesn't make the final 53-man roster, Turenne appears an ideal candidate for the practice squad, a nice honor for any undrafted rookie.

And from Scout:

CB Woodny Turenne

One of the few non-roster invitees at rookie minicamp to get noticed by the coaching staff, Turenne continues to command attention during the offseason program. The former Louisville Cardinal has been seeing some time with the second-team defense during OTAs, and he's made more plays than veterans like Trumaine McBride and Marcus Hamilton. He's no threat to make a jump to the 53-man roster right away, but he's built like a Cover-2 corner at 6-1 and 182 pounds and plays very hard.

If Charles Tillman needs to be moved to safety one day and Nathan Vasher can't recapture the magic he showed earlier in his career, Turenne may be a contributor down the road.
