The LA Rams restoration of their running attack officially transitioned from demolition to construction when the team selected Florida State running back Cam Akers with the 52nd pick of the 2020 NFL Draft. But that was several steps into the entire transformation. In fact, the Rams began to rework their ground attack from the moment the 2019 season ended.
While nobody sat in the meeting rooms, the clues were laid out in a very obvious fashion. The first signs of a huge transformation began in January 2020 when a reputable football sportswriter, Mike Silva, first broke the rumor that the LA Rams were prepared to part ways with star running back Todd Gurley.
