Former Los Angeles Rams All-Pro running back Todd Gurley II is now eligible for the Hall of Fame, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Gurley hasn't played in the league since the 2020 season.
Running back Todd Gurley has not officially retired from the NFL, but unofficially, his career appears to be over.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins will miss the entire 2021 season with a torn ACL. Now the franchise needs someone to fill the void with only Gus Edwards, Justice Hill and Ty'Son Williams on the roster.
It's uncommon, but not unheard of, for notable QBs to change teams -- via trade, free agency, or waiver claim -- at the 11th hour or during a season. Here are the top instances of QBs relocating late and making an impact that season.

Gurley teased fans on Thursday that he was on the verge of breaking free-agency news. That, however, was little more than an April Fools' Day prank used to remind would-be suitors that he's available.
Koetter is confident that Gurley will thrive in the Falcons' offense, noting that is a similar system to what he played in during his time with the Rams.
