Twilley finished his NFL career with 212 receptions for 3,064 yards and 23 touchdowns. He also caught a 28-yard touchdown pass in the Dolphins' Super Bowl VII win over the Washington Redskins.
After Twilley's football career ended, he pursued a career in business. He owned 28 The Athlete's Foot sporting goods stores before selling them in 1990, and he worked in an investment firm. In 1994 he actively considered a run for the United States House of Representatives to succeed Jim Inhofe in Oklahoma's 1st congressional district when Inhofe decided to run for the United States Senate,[2] but he ultimately decided to support the candidacy of another conservative Republican former NFL star, Steve Largent.[3] He was inducted into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame in 1995.[4]
