Falcons' Todd Gurley shows naysayers he can still be featured back

In signing running back Todd Gurley to a one-year deal, the Atlanta Falcons were betting the former first-round pick could return to the form that made him one of the league's top backs for the Los Angeles Rams. Knee issues bothered Gurley during the 2018 playoffs and again last season before the Rams cut him in March.

This season, the 26-year-old hasn't quite reached the level he did in 2017, when he was NFL Offensive Player of the Year, but he is enjoying a resurgence as he tries to prove he can continue to be a productive back beyond 2020.
