 Oh, right everybody, what is going on? Welcome back to another video today. We are going to crack into number six of The top 100 players of 2018 for the NFL Todd Gurley running back for the Rams. It's a running back. That's sick I haven't seen it. I haven't seen a lot of running backs lately. There's been a hell of a lot of DE and DT But I guess there's only really one star running back for each team. So, you know, all good Todd Gurley I've seen you. I've seen you speak about the other players now We're about to hear what everyone thinks of you Number six, man That is sick. Coming from And I got a lot of respect for him and you know, he's just a different breed You can't coach his speed or power or athleticism and really he's jumping over guys You know, it's hard to stop that You need a running back who can catch right you really do Makes them a double option I think Todd looks, Todd's been, I've always respected him, but he's even better than I thought A few NFL shoulders carry the weight Todd Gurley's did in 2017 New Rams head coach John McVeigh kept calling his number and Gurley answered by becoming one of the game's best players Austin, is that Austin? It all really goes back to the system, you know, Coach McVeigh came and put in We all knew Todd had, you know, the potential to do that, have that big a year every year But, you know, his confidence, you know, just grew as the season went on, you know, he just kept getting better and better The 10th overall pick three years ago, Gurley lived up to his billing after a sophomore slump left him off last year's top 100 He led the league with 13 Russian touchdowns, 19 total touchdowns, and over 2,000 yards from scrimmage He was named NFL offensive player of the year and impressed his peers with a sheer number of things he can So 2,000 yards off of scrimmage, does that include rushing and passing and receiving, sorry? Is that what that means? Because obviously over 2,000 rushing yards, you'd be, he would be TG2K, wouldn't he? So I think that must mean both receiving and rushing, but you'll have to let me know Oh, I like that hoodie You just got to get him back to a lot of scrimmage, you got to give him an opportunity to get running So give him space, he's going to do the rest, man He's one of those guys that has great breakaway speed Hang on, what happened there? Give him an opportunity to get running, so give him space, he's going to do the rest, man Boom! He's one of those guys that has great breakaway speed He's really turned that thing into a foot race and beat everybody to the pile on This guy has a nose for goal line He's got a great stiff arm that he uses on guys Oh yeah You guys are off of this body and away from him I love, I love it when someone gets a nice clean stiff arm on the helmet and just doesn't even let them get anywhere near them It's just like, they dive for the tackle, but no, see ya, nah, not today, mate, not today I love it There's a lot of shoelace tackles in the league, you can't do that with Todd The thing is his balance, a lot of times when you see one guy, he'll make a miss and he'll stay on his feet Bang! He'll jump over somebody And another one, bang! He's running to get the first down He's possessed right now, he's a mad man 230 pounds running the ball like this 230 Really, it's tough to take down, especially when he goes up You think you're going to make this tackle and he's just jumping right over you Against Washington, he caught a flat out of the backfield, jumped over one of the cornerbacks of safety and dove into the end zone That's nice, man He jumped over somebody and like reached for the pylon and kept his feet in bounds, that was just, you know, good body control right there I'm trying to avoid tackles, man, so I can't run past you all the time, I guess I just got to jump over you I don't know why I do it, man, it's just, like, natural Just instinct, man, it is, it is, it is Size and ability to be able to jump and move Don't even try and explain it, bruv, don't even try and explain it Just keep doing what you're doing, keep killing it And keep making the defense guess, alright? We've been waiting to see for a year, I like But it's his rule when the Rams aerial attack They gave him that extra push up the top 100 Tiger Lee is the complete back-and-forth The guy now only runs the ball really well He's a weapon outside of the backfield I think Derek Gough really trusts him because he's a playmaker But not a receiving touchdown coming into this season Suddenly the best receiving back in the NFL Gurley led all running backs with six touchdown catches Two of them came in Tennessee with the Rams' first event See, I feel like every running back should be able to run that play, you know To do the play action, run to the side and catch it Or line up as a slot receiver and run a small route and catch it You know, they've got that speed, they've got that pace They've got that strength They've got that ability to make them miss It's like, why just have them set up at the back? You'd want to use them as much as you can, right? But are there running backs that literally just take handoffs from the quarterback? Are there running backs that are so one-dimensional like that? Are there? Any more? I don't know I guess a guy like Marshall Lynch actually come to think of it I don't think I've ever seen him catch a pass And you probably, you don't really need him to, do you? Just give him the ball in the pocket and say, do what you can We had just had a huge mistake where we fumbled the ball in exchange And a guy got through and they end up scoring a defensive touchdown The next drive, for him to really put everything on his shoulders Get a ball on the screen and take it to the house That's what Todd does best Just like that Just like that And unless you pass that ball, he ain't going to have that space Oh yeah, that's some good patience One of the guys who opened up the doorways but are running backs to good drafts first round like myself By breaking ground and breaking tackles It's clear what Todd Gurley has earned around the NFL To be considered by your peers as a top template That's just a lot of respect It's awesome man, especially having not made the countdown last year I don't know why, I'm not going to do too much research I'm probably going to look at Todd Gurley in another video But yeah, for him to come back like that It's awesome man, it's confidence And he must have a good offensive line I mean, but I don't know Anyways guys, that was Todd Gurley The next person we're going to look at is LeVion Bell Running back for the Steelers Can't wait, so I'll see you here for that one Of course We've got five more videos to go but five more Let's do this, alright?
