I. <p>The St. Louis Rams want to run the ball this year behind that great defense they have coming back. And Todd Gurley looked like a truly special running back coming out of Georgia this offseason. He looked so special, the Rams took him at No 10 overall despite the ACL he tore just 5.5 months prior.</p> <p>And with a hurculean rehab much like that of Adrian Peterson, Gurley was cleared for practice. If I were the Rams, I’d probably wait a few games as no one but the Rams know how they’ll do it. They have Tre Mason, who can handle the running load, until Gurley is 100 percent ready.</p>. RB. St. Louis Rams. TODD GURLEY
