Alabama’s Dallas Turner wasted no time declaring for the NFL draft.

On Monday night, the Alabama Crimson Tide suffered a brutal overtime loss to the Michigan Wolverines and were eliminated from the college football playoffs.

Minutes after the loss, Turner revealed that he was leaving Alabama and was declaring the NFL draft.

“I’m gone. Ain’t no if, ands or buts about it.”

The Alabama linebacker was asked about the team’s lack of pressure on Michigan QB JJ McCarthy during the Rose Bowl in which he had three tackles and one sack.

“It might be some plays where I’m dropping or I’m spying or something like that,” he said. “I don’t always rush the quarterback. Why? I don’t know. I just do what I’m told.”

Turner has been described as a top ten pick in the upcoming NFL draft.
