Of all the recent free agent signings the Falcons have made, few have come with the built-in excitement of Todd Gurley. The former star at the University of Georgia was an absolute stud in college and looked like a revelation in his first few years with the Rams. However, as his knees have worn down so too has his productivity. Enough so that the Rams felt compelled to move on from his big contract after 2019. His eventual signing with Atlanta felt like “coming home.”
And yet, after 3 games, the Falcons are 0-3 and Gurley has carried the ball just 49 times for 197 yards and 2 touchdowns.
