5. Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia. Previous Rank: 7
1/28/15: Sources say that Gurley is too talented to fall past the middle of the first round. Sources with other teams say they see Gurley as late first-rounder or possible second-round pick.
It will be interesting to see how far along Gurley is in rehab and if he'll be able to work out for scouts prior to the 2015 NFL Draft. In this evaluator's opinion, Gurley is in the running as the most talented player in this draft class. If I had to pick a player or two from this draft class who will have a Hall of Fame career or be among the best at their positions in the NFL, I would go with Gurley and Winston.
Gurley's season ended early in his return to the field against Auburn, which had seen him quickly pick up where he left off. The junior ran for 128 yards on 29 carries with a touchdown. He also returned a kickoff for a touchdown, but it was called back on a penalty. Even though Georgia was up 27-7 with five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Gurley was still in the game running between the tackles and while being tackled, he tore an ACL. That contest against Auburn will likely end up being the final game of his collegiate career.
Prior to playing Auburn, Gurley was suspended for four game for signing autographs. Sources with multiple teams told WalterFootball.com that the suspension won't hurt Gurley's draft stock. They say that this is more tyrannical NCAA nonsense. League contacts say their character reports on Gurley are sparkling. They say he's a great kid who loves football and works really hard.
Gurley totaled 163 yards on 25 carries with two touchdowns against Vanderbilt in his penultimate game. He also made two catches for 24 yards. The junior justified the hype all year. He started off this season with a dominating performance against Clemson. Gurley finished that game with 198 yards on 15 carries with three touchdowns rushing to go along with a 100-yard kick return for a touchdown. He showed it all against Clemson as he ran with speed and power. That trend continued against Troy and South Carolina.
In 2014, Gurley averaged 7.4 yards for 911 yards with nine touchdowns. He had 12 receptions for 57 yards.
9/2/14: The 6-foot-1, 232-pound back has surprising speed to go along with size and power. He can run over defenders and is fast to the second level. Gurley was awesome when healthy in 2013. He averaged six yards per carry for 989 yards and 10 touchdowns. The sophomore also had 30 receptions for 344 yards and five touchdowns.
Gurley was one of the freshman running backs who burst onto the scene in the SEC during 2012. He had a superb debut to lead the Bulldogs' ground game. Gurley averaged 6.2 yards per carry in 2012 on his way to totaling 1,385 yards with 17 touchdowns. In the SEC Championship, he ran for 122 yards on 22 carries with two touchdowns against Alabama's tough defense.
The biggest issue with Gurley is durability. He needs to stay healthy and productive as a junior to make sure that he's a high first-round pick.
