2012 season

Morris was selected in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft with the 173rd overall pick by the Washington Redskins.[30][31] The sixth round draft pick that Washington selected him with was from a trade on July 27, 2011, from the Vikings for Donovan McNabb. He was officially signed by the Redskins to a four-year, $2.22 million contract with a $154,000 signing bonus on May 6, 2012.[32][33] After having impressive preseason performances, where he started two out of four of the Redskins' preseason games, he emerged as a dark horse in the running back competition with Roy Helu, Evan Royster, and Tim Hightower.[34][35][36][37] He was guaranteed a spot on the final 53-man roster for the start of the 2012 season after Morris sat out of the last preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the rest of the Redskins' starters.

The day before the season opener, coach Mike Shanahan announced that Morris would be the starting running back. In his NFL debut and first career start, he rushed for 96 yards on 28 carries and scored two touchdowns against the New Orleans Saints.[38] Despite the Redskins losing to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3, Morris put on a great display, recording 78 rushing yards on 17 carries and scoring a touchdown, and was even nominated for NFL Rookie of the Week.[39] The next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he had his first 100-yard game; recording 113 yards on 21 carries and one touchdown.[40] On October 7, against the Atlanta Falcons, Morris rushed for his second career 100-yard game.[41] He was named Rookie of the Week after his performance in Week 7 against the New York Giants, where he rushed for 120 yards on 22 carries.[42] He later had three consecutive 100-yard performances starting in the Week 12 game against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.[43][44][45] Morris would be named Rookie of the Week for the second time after his performance against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14.[46]

In the final game of the regular season, Morris ran 33 times for 200 yards and three touchdowns, setting two new Redskins franchise records. His effort helped lead the Redskins to a 28–18 victory over their division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, to win the NFC East for the first time since 1999 and earn a playoff spot for the first time since 2007. In the Wild Card Round against the Seattle Seahawks, he had 16 carries for 80 yards in the 24–14 loss.[47] Finishing the season with a total of 1,613 rushing yards and thirteen touchdowns, he broke Clinton Portis’ rushing record for a single-season of 1,516 yards and Charley Taylor's record of most touchdowns scored in his rookie season of ten touchdowns.[48][49][50] Morris also became the fourth player in NFL history to ever record over 1,600 rushing yards in his rookie year; ultimately ranking third behind Eric Dickerson and George Rogers.

With Morris's 1,613 rushing yards combined with 815 rushing yards attained by Robert Griffin III, the two rookies accounted for 90% of the Redskins' total rushing yards for the 2012 regular season, which led the Redskins to finish first in the league in rushing.[51] In the regular season, he also finished second in the league in total rushing yards, only behind Adrian Peterson, and ranked second in rushing touchdowns behind Arian Foster.[52]

2015 season

Morris remained the starter for the Redskins, splitting carries with rookie Matt Jones and Chris Thompson.[96] The Redskins' rushing scheme in their offense was noticeably poor causing Morris's statistics to be particularly lower compared to his past seasons.[97] On September 13, 2015, Morris ran for a season-high 121 yards on 25 carries against the Miami Dolphins.[98] During the game, Morris was tackled by Ndamukong Suh after a nine-yard gain, and as Suh got up it appeared that he kicked Morris's helmet off, causing major controversy in Suh's first game as a Dolphin.[99] On September 20, 2015, Morris ran for a 35-yard gain against the New York Giants.[100] On November 15, 2015, Morris ran for 92 yards on 15 carries against the New Orleans Saints.[101] On November 29, 2015, Morris ran for 78 yards on 23 carries against the New York Giants.[102] On December 13, 2015, Morris scored his first and only touchdown of the season against the Chicago Bears.[103] On January 3, 2016, Morris ran for 100 yards on 19 carries against the Dallas Cowboys.[104] During the fourth quarter, Morris was tackled in the end zone by J.J.

On March 22, 2016, Morris signed a two-year, $3.5 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys, with the potential to earn up to $5.5 million.[109] The Cowboys were looking to improve their running back production from the previous year and also drafted Ezekiel Elliott in the first round on April 28. With the emergence of Elliott who became the league's leading rusher, Morris was mostly used on third downs and was forced to focus on his blocking and receiving skills.[110]

Morris stayed ahead of McFadden as the backup for Ezekiel Elliott. He became the starting running back in Week 10, when Elliott began serving a six-game suspension for violating the NFL personal conduct policy.[116]

On Thursday Night Football in Week 13, Morris faced against his former team, the Washington Redskins. He finished the game with 127 rushing yards, supporting the Cowboys dramatically to a 38–14 win.[117]

He returned to a backup role in Week 16. During Elliott's absence, he was the team's leading rusher, contributing to the running game and remaining efficient although not dominating, while posting 99 carries for 430 yards (4.3-yard average). Overall, Morris finished the 2017 season with 115 carries for 547 rushing yards (4.8-yard average), a rushing touchdown, and seven receptions for 45 yards.[118] He wasn't re-signed at the end of the year.
