IRVINE, Calif. -- Todd Gurley II took a handoff near midfield, then dashed to the end zone.
It was Day 1 at Rams training camp, and though it was two-hand touch, Gurley ran with a burst often reserved for Week 1 of the regular season.
“He looked good,” quarterback Jared Goff said with a smile after the workout. “A little more pep in his step. I don’t know why. Something must have happened recently.”
The day before practice began, the Rams made Gurley the highest-paid running back in NFL history, rewarding the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year with a four-year extension worth $60 million, with $45 million guaranteed.
