Todd Gurley recalls 2015 draft, didn't expect to go before No. 20

Todd Gurley recalls 2015 draft, didn't expect to go before No. 20

Todd Gurley was a unique prospect coming out of Georgia in 2015, not only because he was a rare running back deserving of going in the top 10, but because of his health situation. He was coming off a torn ACL, which he suffered in November, and couldn’t do anything during the pre-draft process.

Many thought the injury would push Gurley down the draft board and cause him to slip in the first round, but the Rams took a chance on him at No. 10 overall. Needless to say, that risk paid off beautifully with Gurley winning Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2015 and earning two All-Pro selections since.

He never expected to be drafted by the Rams and thought he’d go 20th overall at the earliest. He recalled the 2015 draft on Josh Hart’s podcast recently, discussing how he thought it would go.
