Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley played together at Georgia from 2012-14.
Both signed with the Bulldogs as elite members of the 2012 recruiting class, where Marshall was the 13th ranked player in the class (No. 1 RB) and Gurley ranked 73rd (No. 6 RB). Both hailed from North Carolina.
Their freshman year in Athens, the two, dubbed as Gurshall, were unstoppable. Marshall hit you with his blazing speed while Gurley was, well, Gurley.
They combined for 2,144 rushing yards and 27 total touchdowns.
Gurley left Georgia in 2014 and was taken with tenth overall pick by the Rams in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Marshall stayed an extra year, but sadly was never the same after suffering a season ending injury his sophomore season.
But together, along with Aaron Murray, the two running backs gave Georgia a 2012 that we will never forget.
Unfortunately for Marshall, his NFL career did not last long. After running the fastest 40-yard dash at the 2016 NFL Combine with a time of 4.31 seconds, he was taken by the Washington Redskins in the seventh round of the 2016 draft. A torn patellar tendon in his right knee would eventually end his NFL career in July of 2018.
But the bond between the two has stayed tight, and you can often see them together vacationing or hanging out across the country. Marshall has been quick to take to Twitter following a great Gurley run over the past few seasons.
When news broke that Gurley has signed with the Falcons, Marshall again took to Twitter to express his excitement.

The Gurshall duo may be North Carolinians, but they’re both Damn Good Dawgs for life.
