Kyle’s Instant Evaluation
Todd Gurley is the do-it-all running back that teams can lean on. He can provide added value with his pass catching skills. His pass blocking skills will keep on the field for all three downs. His return ability only adds to his impact ability. He will have an instant impact on the NFL this season.
