Todd Gurley carries Rams to victory

Jon Cooper | 9 years ago

Todd Gurley will remember this day for the rest of his life.

The former Georgia running back carried St. Louis against Arizona, as the Rams upset the Cardinals 24-22. Gurley rushed for 146 yards on 19 carries, and it should be the first of many 100-yard rushing performances.

It’s safe to say Gurley should be a great NFL running back, and that surgically repaired knee looks just fine. It seems like yesterday he was ripping off yards against SEC defenses. Now, he’s doing it at football’s highest level.

Here’s Gurley ripping off a 23-yard run:

Gurley also had the presence of mind to stay in bounds and keep the clock rolling near the end of the game:
