What happened to Todd Gurley? Is former Los Angeles Rams Running Back's Professional Football career over?

Todd Gurley had arthritis in his left knee, so his movement on the football field has been compromised. Gurley played the running back position, which requires a lot of strength, stamina, and mobility. Unfortunately, due to his arthritis and a series of nasty knee injuries, the former Los Angeles Rams superstar has remained out of the NFL for the last three seasons.

Gurley had one of the most impressive five-year spells we have seen from a running back in modern history. He put up great numbers across the board. He was a perennial All-Pro selection and made the Pro Bowl team three times (2015, 2017, and 2018).

At his peak, he was arguably the best player in Los Angeles, but times have changed in the NFL. The league now has an array of all-purpose backs like Derek Henry, Josh Jacobs and Christian McCaffrey. All these players were in college when Gurley became the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2015.
