KaVontae Turpin was brought to the Dallas Cowboys in 2022 to be their return man, and he gave them a Pro Bowl season. Now, the speedy weapon is running towards the most precious reward.

Turpin was not present for the Cowboys' first training camp practice due to the birth of his child. 

Turpin burst onto the scene with a two-touchdown performance against the Los Angeles Chargers last preseason. Although he didn't score during the regular season, Turpin finished 508 kick return yards (averaged 24.2 yards per return) and 303 punt return yards. 

Heading into his second season in Dallas, Turpin has more motivation to earn a role in the Cowboys' offense after only 62 snaps and four touches last year.
