THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- It was a March morning on the track of UCLA, four months before the start of a new training camp. Nabie Fofanah, a former sprinter who now trains professional athletes, looked at Todd Gurley II, smiled, and uttered the six words that would set the tone for his upcoming season:
"I have a gift for you."
In his hand was a round, blue, custom-made keychain. Engraved in yellow on the front were the words "Todd Gurley 2017 Stats." Gurley turned it over and saw a milestone so audacious that it made him question Fofanah's sanity: 1,500 rushing yards, 1,000 receiving yards.
