Gurley's Injury Slowed Rams' Offense

The rookie running back out of Georgia was selected 10th overall by the Rams despite recovering from an ACL injury he suffered in November 2014 that sidelined him for all but six games.

But in those six games, Gurley rushed for 911 yards and nine touchdowns, making him an extremely attractive target for teams in need of help in the backfield. Last season, the Rams ranked 20th in the league with 102.2 rushing yards per game.

Gurley's injury caused him to miss the first two games of the season. But upon his return, he was arguably St. Louis' most explosive player, rushing for over 100 yards in four consecutive games from Weeks 4 to 7. He had 1,106 rushing yards on the season.
