He eventually found a solid home there, winning two pro bowls in his three seasons, mostly due to his ability to make the Magic happen on special teams.
Last season, he was a first-team global player last season, which was a touchdown-scoring tee rate of 904 yards in the league. He also received a return from the punt last season and 187 yards.
When Dak Prescott got the ball, Terpin also provided some breakout speed, dragging 420 yards on 31 catches and two touchdowns.
