Todd Gurley

He’s the reigning Rookie of the Year and one of the best, young running backs to come into the NFL since Adrian Peterson.  Todd Gurley took the football world by storm last season, arriving late to the action after missing three games but still rushing for 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns to make the Pro Bowl.  Los Angeles hasn’t seen a back of his talent since Eric Dickerson.  One can only hope they dump those dark blue and gold uniforms and return to the much brighter ocean blue and yellow colors.

Regardless of what happens at quarterback, everybody knows the lifeblood of the 2016 Rams offense will be him and that offensive line.  Fans will want to see how Gurley is progressing and whether he’s ready to build on the impressive season he put together as a rookie.  At just 21-years old, he is an emerging superstar.
