RB. St. Louis Rams. TODD GURLEY. A+. <p>The St. Louis Rams running back Todd Gurley finally got himself ready to play some football! After a hurculean rehab much like Adrian Peterson’s, he was cleared for practice to begin the season. He looked really good moving around throughout but the Rams were extra careful for good reason.</p> <p>Then in Week 3, the Rams went ahead and dipped Gurley’s toe in the water with a couple of carries. He didn’t do anything special but is was good for the Rams to get him in there to get that first hit over with. That had to be good just for the mind of a player that tore his ACL not even a year prior.</p> <p>Then Sunday, he had his first start and was the guy the Rams thought they drafted No. 10 overall. Gurley rushed for 146 yards on 19 carries including a 52-yard run to sneak his Rams past the undefeated Cardinals 24-22. He’s already made a huge difference in this Rams team and will continue to as long as he stays healthy.</p>
