Todd Gurley: 2015 NFL Combine Results, Highlights and Twitter Reaction

Georgia running back Todd Gurley wasn't expected to do much at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine due to injury, and while he only competed in one drill, he still managed to make headlines.

The 20-year-old back from Baltimore was unable to take part in anything aside from the bench press after tearing his ACL in November.

Gurley didn't rack up huge numbers with 17 reps of 225 pounds, but the fact that he was willing to perform despite injury likely scored him some points with teams in search of a running back.

Here is a full rundown of Gurley's combine performance and measurables:

Height	Weight	Arm Length	Hand Size
40-Yard Dash	Bench Press	Vertical Jump	Broad Jump
Three-Cone Drill	20-Yard Shuttle	60-Yard Shuttle
6'1"	222 lbs.	31.5"	10"
DNP	17	DNP	DNP
DNP	DNP	DNP

Since Gurley's physical contributions were obviously limited, much of the buzz surrounding his time at the combine focused on other areas.

There is no question that Gurley's health will be a huge deciding factor in where he ends up getting selected in the draft. With his knee still healing, NFL.com's Michael Silver is reporting that Gurley declined to have his knee checked by doctors at the combine:

According to Silver, noted surgeon Dr. James Andrews played a big role in Gurley's reported decision to forego testing:

While teams are currently left wondering about the state of Gurley's knee, the mystery won't last long as the expectation is that he will be evaluated in one month:

There is no doubt that Gurley would love to be back on the field as soon as possible, but he seems to be taking a smart and cautious approach in dealing with his injury.

Per Dane Brugler of CBSSports.com, the talented rusher is rolling with the punches rather than a setting a firm date for his return:

Gurley's decision to play it safe shouldn't be misconstrued as a lack of passion or drive, though. Regardless of how unlikely it may seem, his goal is still to be the No. 1 overall selection in the 2015 NFL draft, according to NFL on ESPN:

That spot is likely reserved for a quarterback such as Florida State's Jameis Winston or Oregon's Marcus Mariota, but simply being selected at any point in the first round would be a major win for Gurley.

No matter where he is ultimately picked, Gurley believes he will be a big-time contributor as a rookie, per NFL.com's Bryan Fischer:

Running backs aren't often taken that early anymore, let alone those with injury concerns.

Another topic of conversation regarding Gurley at the combine was the autograph scandal that resulted in a suspension at Georgia last season.

According to D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Gurley admitted that he exercised bad judgment, and he intended to show NFL teams that the entire situation was behind him.

"Just man up to my mistakes," Gurley said. "I made a dumb mistake and I suffered the consequences. ... I had to move on from that, but just show them that. I'm a great person at the end of the day."

The interview process is certainly a huge part of the combine, and while it is unclear how well Gurley performed in that aspect, he is saying all the right things publicly.

Most outside observers didn't come away from the combine with much new information regarding Gurley, but it is likely that all 32 NFL teams learned quite a bit about one of the draft's most talented prospects.
