I was just watching highlights of Todd Gurley not that long ago its sad to see that knee injury hurt him in the long run . Good video as always

An absolute tragedy with those damn knee injuries he had. He was supposed to be the next Eric Dickerson for the Rams. Unfortunately it didn't last long.

With the amount of money he received, he should be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

The 2018 Rams had Cooper Kupp and Gurley get hurt that season. That team if healthy would have caked walked to a Super Bowl.

He was and is one the best RBs to ever play. We should put absolutely zero shade on Todd. Health often is managible, but sometimes things happen to our bodies that we cannot do anything to change. Outside of prayer, faith, science, exercise, rest, and good eating habits the body does wear down and we do have a bell curve to our physical climb, peak, and decline. It's a fact. Todd's bell curve wasn't something he wanted at all. Nobody did, in fact. But sometimes this happens. Plus, lets not lose sight that football is a full contact sport with elite, large, and very strong humans and there is a point in every person that you will break. Living in LA, I loved Todd and I still do. He was a smart, talented, and elite human on the field and NOTHING can ever take that away from him. He still holds records and was one of Georgia's all time, best RBs. TB, #30 was a freak!

Running backs should be one of the highest paid players on the team. They do all the dirty work, take a ton of damage to their bodies, make spectacular athletic plays, and have typically short careers. Without great running backs football would be pretty boring..so pay them!

This is why Emmitt smith is the man. His endurance to be good for so long will never be matched again. The record might be broken only because they eventually have 18 regular season games. But Emmitt did it in 16 game seasons meaning he got to 18k yards the longest way

Great video, Lauren!!! I always think "what could have been" with Todd Gurley! If he played healthy from 2019-2022/2023, he may have been a HOF RB!

Oh my gosh I forgot about Todd damn it’s been so long time really does fly

Great overview of his career, thought the pacing from college to draft thru ups & downs with the Rams was really on point. Her speaking style (like how she delivers the lines) always strikes me as really good too. It's sad to think what could've been for Gurley with his level of talent, but at least he got that almost 70m contract to soften the landing....

There were other issues too. His attitude got worse. I remember when the Rams opened the season in 2019, the year after appearing in the Super Bowl, the announcer for the game I was watching listed the Rams captains and Gurley wasn't one of them. He was a captain the previous years so I thought that was strange. A member in a Rams forum I used to read also mentioned Gurley couldn't find his helmet when asked to go in in the second half of the game in Pittsburgh, a game in which he had a great first half and a game we should have won. Things were generally kept quiet but there was a mention of him being a cancer in the locker room. I thought he was awesome and he seemed like a real good dude until after the Super Bowl when things soured. My Rams have a bunch of great running backs in their history and he was one of them.

Those rams jersey was fire tho 💯💯 the white and blue

Thanks for putting together this video. I remember drafting him in fantasy football and just being excited to watch him play. So sad his career ended so soon

The NFC Championship game in New Orleans was brutal for Todd, who let a dink pass bounce off his hands into a Saints INT inside the Rams 20 on the teams first possession. He later dropped an easy pass in the red zone that would've been a first down. He did have TD run in the game but did not have a good game, and McVay basically just sat him. Nerves? Knee? Coach? The Rams were never truthful about what was going on with Gurley at the end of 2018 and into 2019 after giving him the huge contract. He had good games against the Panthers, Bears, Steelers, Cardinals & Seahawks 2nd games and Falcons in 2019 but was never consistent and much of that had to do with not getting touches in games. The Tampa Bay game comes to mind where he got 5 carries in a 55-40 loss. He did miss the 1st 49ers game with an undisclosed injury. His release along with Brandin Cooks in early 2020 was a shocker given their recent contracts and prominence in the LA market. Gurley was the face of the Rams from 2016-2019, and they just cut him. The Rams made a habit of signing stars to big extensions and then throwing them away. Gurley (knee?), Cooks (concussions?), Goff (contract/play?), Brockers (contract?) and Woods (knee injury?). The team even tossed Johnny Hekker without a thank you one. Brutal. I've always wondered if Gurley shone too bright for an insecure but wildly successful young coach in LA, and it was always more about ego than injury. Same for Jared Goff. Thanks for the fine segment!

Perfect example of a PURE athlete, just more talented and better then everyone else

As a Rams fan, I can tell you this with certainty. He TOOK THE MONEY AND RAN ... like a grifter in the night. He got his paycheck and packed up his shit.

Great vid as always! Feel like MJD would be right up your alley too in terms of his downfall. Great player, led the league in rushing yards in 2011, had a nasty contract holdout in 2012, then came back and suffered a season-ending injury a month later, and was never the same

You are the best KZfaqr you tell great story’s keep it up

Great reporting. You deserve all the success coming to you

Really love your videos. Very well researched and always well done! Have you thought about branching out and doing other sports?

Great video and info. Curious… how do you get all this info to create these videos. Do you just do a ton of research and then put it all together in story form? They really are well done!

Dude was a beast...miss watching him

Love your channel. Love your passion.

great video! I feel sorry for Gurley, I wonder if he would be better than McCaffrey now

I really like you, Flemlo, and Scott Fisher a lot as story tellers. Y'all have a good way about yourselves and it comes through in your videos. Much success to you all.👍

He was with Atlanta Falcons. After left Rams

He was already damaged goods when the rams drafted him and yet he still managed to have a few good years.

Honestly they are our rivals but Todd Gurley was a joy to watch, i hated when Seahawks went up against him because he could destroy us but injuries just ended his career way to early. A shame.

Coaches are like politicians-liars

Just a little side note: 1:22 it was a hip drop tackle against LSU that took out Gurley's ankle.

Love your videos! I hope you don't mind if I add something here real quick? Although they did announce it in week 14, it was week 11 versus the Chiefs when he was injured, it was during the first quarter when someone landed on his legs from behind. That's when he was out for at least a couple of quarters and reduced the running game. During their bye-week that's when the Rams get CJ Henderson. He also ended up having a shared workload in week 13. I hope you don't mind me commenting this!

Todd gurley was a beast. Its ashame his career was cut short due to injuries. In my top 5 rams running backs.

I will forever love gurley he made me excited to be a Rams fan again and he was my first Rams jersey I ever got. Thank you TG forever a Ram!

Todd Gurley absolute dominate force when healthy! Unfortunate to say the least, maybe on the Mount Rusmore of What If: Running Backs

I can’t believe he played through his injury great video Lauren.

He was being used too much and playing through injury when he should have been recovering

I'm still a big Gurley Fan. Period! He was just hampered by his injury as a college player. I truly believe it was just steadily getting worse over time.. how unfortunately for him. God bless him 🙏

Breath of fresh air this is the first lady I seen with a sports channel that's actually a fan

Gurely was still on the fantasy football list under the free agency forever and I would always wonder what happened to him. Then a coworker told me he has bad knees.

I’m a AZ cardinals fan but man I miss seeing Todd Gurley go off on teams 😭😭

This video was pretty intrsting because i have always wondered what happened to todd because for a while he was doing well in the nfl, but those knee injuries just were too much to overcome and more context on why he couldnt go no more. his last team was like a tryout i think? did u ever read into that lauren?

Todd Gurley was clearly on pace for a Hall of Fame ceremony, but his knees let him down. I still think he ends up in the Hall of Fame, but it will be interesting to see, has a career that compares to Terrell Davis.

I watched the NFL back in the day when running backs dominated the game. It is clear that those days are over. Running backs today, even great ones like Todd Gurley, are not for long in the league. The Rams tried to hide his significant injuries, but the other teams knew. Good report. 👍🏼

Lauren returns!

Whenever the Eagles play the Rams. Everybody, watch your knees! Just ask Carson Wentz.

Year 3&4 he had with the rams was explosive, year 1 would have been better had they realized how good a receiver he was, but still had a good rookie season. regardless of what he accomplished or didn't, he is still 1 of the greatest rams RB of all time. to do what he did coming out of college to the pros with a torn knee operation is incredible.

Excellent analysis of Gurley and the new, otherwise strange, regard by clubs in paying the RB position. It still makes no sense, as any player can be an injury risk.

Well done SGS. Beautiful delivery.

Todd Gurley II was such a BadAss Running Back with the Bulldogs of UGA like no doubt he was tremendously so amazing to watch but in the 2015 NFL Draft he's a 1st Round 10th overall by the Rams he didn't disappoint from Day-1 winning Rookie of the year but in 2017 he won NFL's Offensive player of the year but in 2018 he went to his 1st Super Bowl trip but LOST to the Patriots so in 2020 he went to the Falcons then 3 Years Later he Vanished out of thin air

In Gurley's most recent interview 2 weeks ago, he stated, "not having football in him anymore," so he called it quits.

Him and Michael Thomas are the D roses of the NFL

Te estás volviendo la mejor! Never vanish por favor 🙏

Knees. It wasn't a cover up. Its why LA dropped him in "prime". Understand, he did what he did on one leg. His entire career was with a bad knee. Massive what if?

A few million is worth not being able to walk at 50, but much love for Todd, I’ve climbed trees for power company’s since I was 16 now my knees are bone on bone and I’m missing 4 disc in lower back but like him I would do it all again. Good luck to one of the best!

Good thing the refs saved the Rams vs the Saints

Godd Turley Never forget

He would have like 50 yards off 18 carries then break 1 long run to make his stats look decent

Oh shit, a woman who knows her shit when it comes to sports .. hold ma drank.. sup boo what's yo name what's yo sign? 😂😅 Good vid and great research

WD-40 works great for arthritis, yes, it does work.

Do a where are they now video on the players chip Kelly cut drafted or signed when he was the eagles coach

Average league career is 4 seasons. He was no exception.

At least he got the bag before he retired

HE had much more of an NFL career than 99.9999%

He's chilling right now❤

By Far Was The Best Running Back. Even after the Injury at Georgia, still came into League Dominance

I had Gurley in fantasy his rookie year and it was great haha

Injuries.Todd played He also ran straight up allowing defenders to get good clean shots.

Shawn Alexander had a crazy fall.

We Miss him man 😞

What vanished were his knees

If he and cooper kupp would have stayed healthy, i think it seems likely thatcthe rams win the superbowl and gurley gets the mvp and changes the trajectory of the running backs future income. If the patriots play the same with 13 pts

Bro thy flamingoed his knee b4 that buddy was getting me 30 +points in my fantasy league

Boy they sure punish those SEC teams (comparatively speaking) don't they? NOT!

He was the last great running back.

The big 12 is weaker than well water as a conference! No team was higher than 11th in the final polls last year. 🤔

Ecclesiastes 11:5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

If he hadn't of gotten hurt that SB would be ours!

Todd got MCVEY'ed, that is also a fact

"Preventable arthritis?" Mmmm, nah, I don't think so.

glad i witnessed greatness w TG30 RAMILY 4L

I love your channel, it's the female version of nonsports in a good way 👍🏼👍🏼❤️

Wow 😮. To Henderson and now he’s no where to be found because the Rams drafted Williams and in due time Williams will out of the league as well unless the Rams start sharing the ball more as he’s utilized too much in the pass game and run game.

I can shorten this video for everyone , he had no cartilage in either knees left coming out in the draft but he was still drafted . Bad medical reports were ignored his entire career, I’ll be surprised if he can walk when he’s 50 .

Excellent video. The fact I’m being educated by a woman about football is refreshing.

I wonder if she realizes that JV is actually for 9th and 10th graders

The Tennessee Tidens?

Good video

THANK GOD FOR ANOTHER DAY!!!!, MAKE SURE TO PRAY , HAVE A SAFE AND BLESSED DAY , MAY GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL ABUNDANTLY , MAY GOD BLESS ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS SOULS ABUNDANTLY✝️✝️!!!!

Best RB in the league to scoring the most boneheaded TD in NFL history.

Gurley is/was VERY good. I would have been happy for him to p!ay for my team. But he was never the best RB in the NFL.

Gurley had knee injuries

Dalvin cook as well

You have the commentator cadence down to a T

Hi you are my favorite KZfaq

It was "girly" not to admit that Todd's busted knee was not holding up. Todd's football career ended early because of the knee injury.

No, he couldn't stay healthy. His knees.

He was NEVER the best nfl running back !!

It's the NEW norm, sux

So what is Gurley doing today?
