Stud: Todd Gurley, RB (No. 10 overall, Rams)

Todd Gurley is the first player on this list to still be with the team that drafted him, and it’s obvious why. He’s been the NFL’s most dominant running back over the last few seasons and, assuming his knee is healthy in 2019, should continue wearing that crown for the foreseeable future.

The problem, however, is it’s a big assumption to make right now. Gurley’s effectiveness was limited down the stretch last season and he was a near non-factor in the playoffs.

Still, he’s done enough through his first four seasons to be one of the 2015 NFL Draft’s biggest studs. He’s scored a total of 40 touchdowns over the last two seasons.
