Todd Gurley is simply a man amongst boys in college.
Even though Gurley is currently suspended, he should still be a high first round pick.
In his five games played this year, Gurley has rushed for 198, 131, 73, 208, and 163 yards and eight scores.
He can block, run inside, run outside, truck would-be tacklers, and has the shakes to make people miss. He’s the most complete back coming out of college, and is probably the best since Adrian Peterson came out in 2007.
With reports surfacing that Marshawn Lynch will not be a Seattle Seahawk next season, Pete Carroll and his staff need to find a successor very quickly.
Todd Gurley would be that guy.
Too bad he’ll be off the table by the time the Seahawks pick.
