The latest Rams rumors look at how Todd Gurley can come alive in 2017.

One thing that was glaringly absent from the Rams’ first season back in Los Angeles since the ’90’s was their lack of a running game. Former Georgia Bulldog Todd Gurley tore things up in his rookie season when the team was in St. Louis, but Los Angeles was another story.

During his first year in the league, Gurley ran for more than 1,100 yards in 13 games. He also scored ten touchdowns and had a longest run of 71 yards. In contrast, last season he played in all 16 games but only managed 885 yards, six scores, and had a season long run of just 24 yards.

Not the direction the Rams were hoping their former first round pick would be going.

Here are three ways that the team can help Todd Gurley get back to being a beast on the field.
