Todd Gurley Can Only Watch at Georgia’s Pro Day

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) – While he continues to rehab his knee – and his reputation – Todd Gurley is relying on game film to make his case for the NFL draft.

Gurley could only watch during Georgia’s Pro Day on Wednesday. He’s not ready for the 40-yard dash and other drills that were part of the day for other Georgia players looking to impress NFL scouts.

Despite the knee injury that ended his season, Gurley is expected to be the first Georgia player drafted. He bypassed his senior season, lost four games to a suspension for accepting money for autographs and still is the second-leading rusher in Georgia history, behind only Herschel Walker.

Gurley says NFL teams have asked about the suspension, as well as his progress in recovering from the knee surgery.
