The Atlanta Falcons brought home a Georgia favorite by signing running back Todd Gurley in free agency. Since the team opted against adding another back in the 2020 NFL Draft, the pressure will be on Gurley, along with backups Ito Smith, Brian Hill and Qadree Ollison to carry the load this season.
Considering the Rams were willing to release Gurley despite the hefty salary cap ramifications, it’s fair to wonder if he can get back to being the All-Pro player he was a few years ago.
Talking with local media on Thursday morning, Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter gave his thoughts on Gurley’s expected role this season and uncertainty of his health due to the COVID-19 restrictions.
