Professional career

Buffalo Bills

Morris was drafted in the fifth-round (156th overall) by the Buffalo Bills in the 2000 NFL Draft.

Miami Dolphins

Morris in December 2008

Morris signed a free agent contract with the Miami Dolphins on March 12, 2004, and though he was expected to be a fullback he ended up being the team's leading rusher following the abrupt retirement of Ricky Williams. He started eight of the 13 games he played in, finishing with 523 rushing yards and six touchdowns. He backed up rookie running back Ronnie Brown in 2005 and led the Dolphins with 16 special teams tackles. Morris was suspended for the first four games of the 2006 regular season.

New England Patriots

On March 3, 2007 the New England Patriots signed Morris to a four-year contract. He started two of the first six games of the season, averaging 4.5 yards a carry. On October 14, 2007 Morris suffered a chest injury while playing against the Dallas Cowboys. On November 2, 2007, after missing two games, Morris was placed on injured reserve with a chest injury, ending his season. In 2009 he made the USA Today All Joe Team after a very solid year at the Patriots

Dallas Cowboys

On December 13, 2011, Morris was signed by the Dallas Cowboys after they placed starting running back DeMarco Murray on injured reserve with a fractured ankle and high ankle sprain.

Coaching career

Morris returned to football in 2013 when he joined the coaching staff of Michael Strachan as an assistant at Attleboro High School.
