Why the Cowboys new weapon KaVontae Turpin is essentially a lock to make the 53-man roster

CeeDee Lamb is the Dallas Cowboys' no. 1 wide receiver. This title was cemented in stone after the team traded away Amari Cooper this offseason. Being the top dog also means the team must prioritize his health a little more and relieve him of his punt return responsibilities. And considering the team’s backup punt returner, Cedrick Wilson Jr., has vacated the premises, suddenly the Cowboys find themselves without a punt returner.

That was until the team signed the USFL MVP KaVontae Turpin.

A 5’9”, 158-pound speedster, Turpin led the New Jersey Generals to a league-best 9-1 record before being bounced in the semifinals of the playoffs.
