Former Georgia Bulldog running back Todd Gurley has passed his physical, the last hurdle toward finalizing his one-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons.
From D. Orlando Ledbetter, AJC…
Gurley suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in college at the University of Georgia. He appeared to slow down during the Rams' run to the Super Bowl in the 2018 season. He believes the Falcons will come up with a training schedule that will work for him and his knee.
Gurley signed his one-year, $5.5 million contract April 10, but it was contingent on him passing his physical. Gurley noted that he played in 15 of 16 games last season.
“I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have signed me if they were concerned,” Gurley said.
The Falcons signed the former NFL offensive player of the year in free agency to an one-year contract worth up to $6 million after he played five mostly spectacular seasons with the Rams.
