New Colts running back grew up a fan of Gore as a 49ers rusher.
Robert Robert Turbin is thrilled to be joining a backfield with Frank Gore.
Turbin was born in Oakland, Calif., and was a childhood fan of Gore, who played across the Bay and became the San Francisco 49ers all-time leading rusher. Now both will play for the Indianapolis Colts.
"Obviously he was fun to watch for me," Turbin said Wednesday on a conference call, one day after agreeing to terms on a one-year contract with the Colts.
