Despite a disappointing season, there were bright spots to take from Todd Gurley’s second year as running for the Los Angeles Rams. Gurley finished the 2016 season with 885 rushing yards and six touchdowns behind a porous offensive line that often got beat off the snap from opposing defensive lineman.
Compared to last year, Gurley’s attempts increased from the previous season from 229 to 278, with the extra 49 attempts contributed from the offense’s inability to get the passing game going consistently. Overall, Gurley was a steady constant in the team’s rushing attack, but his greatest contributions came from catching the ball out of the backfield.
