- Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin Joins Pro Bowl as Replacement After Strong 2025 Season
KaVontae Turpin had another big year for the Dallas Cowboys in 2025. After being named an All-Pro first-team wide receiver in 2024, the 29-year-old kept his foot on the gas this season.
Turpin played 15 games throughout the campaign (two starts), registering 38 catches for 396 yards and two touchdowns. The fourth-year wideout also added 89 yards on the ground on 17 carries.

Turpin's numbers saw a slight decline compared to the previous season, but there's no denying that he was an integral part of Dallas' offense in 2025. A testament to this fact is how he has now been called up to the Pro Bowl squad for the third time in his career.
