Falcons' Matt Ryan impressed with new running back Todd Gurley

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan said he has done field work with Todd Gurley "a handful of times'' and is "really impressed" with his new running back.

Ryan, currently in Atlanta, spent time with Gurley in Southern California in recent weeks.

"I've gotten to work with Todd and he's awesome,'' Ryan told ESPN. "Really, really good guy. A hard worker. He's super-smart. The stuff I was telling him one day, the next day he had it done. I was really impressed with his ability to retain information. You don't have to tell him twice.
