Seattle Seahawks

2012 season

Playing as a backup to Marshawn Lynch, Turbin ran for 354 yards on 81 carries in his rookie season. In week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals, Turbin got a significant number of carries in the second half thanks to a blowout, and would have his first career NFL 100 yard game, getting 108 yards on 20 carries in a 58-0 victory.[14]

2013 season

Again serving as a backup to Marshawn Lynch, Turbin got fewer touches in 2014, ending up with 77 carries and 264 rushing yards and 8 receptions for 60 yards. Turbin obtained his first super bowl ring in Super Bowl XLVIII, recording 9 carries for 25 yards in the game during the 43-8 victory.[14]

2014 season

Still the second-string running back, Turbin scored his first NFL touchdown in Week 2 against the San Diego Chargers, catching a three-yard touchdown pass in the loss. He would score a second in week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers on a 13-yard catch-and-run. He would add a 34-yard catch later in the game, a 19-3 victory. In week 17 against the St. Louis Rams, Turbin got 11 carries for 53 yards and caught a pass for 13 yards. He ended the season with 74 carries for 310 yards, along with 16 receptions for 186 yards.

Cleveland Browns

Turbin was claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Browns on September 10, 2015.[15] He spent five weeks recovering from his previous ankle injury. He played in 3 games, recording 18 carries for 60 yards, before being waived on November 10.

Dallas Cowboys

On November 18, Turbin was signed as a free agent to backup Darren McFadden and replace former Seahawks teammate Christine Michael. He began playing as soon as he got to the team, registering seven carries for 35 yards, one receptions for 3 yards and being involved in pass protections assignments, while playing 4 days later against the Miami Dolphins. His best game came against the Green Bay Packers, when he posted 57 rushing yards and 1 touchdown.
