Spotlight on… Todd Gurley, RB, St. Louis Rams
When: Every Sunday at a stadium near you or at someone you know.
What’s up: Running backs became disposable parts over the past decade. They represent football’s equivalent of late-inning relievers. Everyone needs them, but no one wants to pay them or draft them. Todd Gurley caused a rethink, despite tearing the ACL in his left knee last season at Georgia. He has rushed for 664 yards, third in NFL history in a player’s first six games.
Background: The Rams trusted his rehab and highlight reel enough to take him with the 10th pick.
