Todd Gurley will not be the Atlanta Falcons franchise running back

Make no mistake about it, Todd Gurley signing with the Atlanta Falcons is a risk. With his knee issue, he very well could be only a shell of his former self. With that being said, if the Gurley experiment does fail, it is vital that the Atlanta Falcons have a back-up plan. Through the NFL Draft, the team will find its franchise running back.

As already mentioned in a previous post regarding the Atlanta Falcons and the running back prospects in the draft, Ohio State’s J.K Dobbins, Georgia’s D’Andre Swift, LSU’s Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Florida State’s Cam Akers and Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor would all be a great fit for the team.
