Todd Gurley What ACL?

[Chimera]

Running straight ahead like that doesn't put much stress on your ACL, it's the cutting and crap that you'd want to see him doing

 

Accurate. 

 

When you're running full speed, then try to stop quickly, you're putting strain on your ACL. It generally doesn't have any affect whatsoever on your speed. It does, however, negatively impact your ability to change direction and slow down.

no need we already have one broken back who finally decided he good play

As far as im concerned the people making these Gurley threads as though we actually have a slim chance of drafting him might as well be making Amari Cooper threads, no way in hell Gurley falls to us. Id say im 98.5%-99.9% sure.

Thread title reminded me of something Art Donovan, Baltimore Colt DT named to the 1950's NFL All Decade Team, said once on ESPN NFL Countdown or Primetime. Someone asked Art about all the torn ACLs so far that year, and was that going on in Art's day?

 

He growled, " No, when I was playing, we didn't have any cruciates!"

 

Since it's off-season workouts time, another tidbit about Art is that he made no secret of the fact he hated off-season workouts.

 

"The only weight I ever lifted was 24 ounces. It was a Schlitz. I always replaced my fluids," Art said.

 

Damn I miss those kind of colorful characters in the NFL.

Worth a shot at #25 but if any of these top 10 teams pull the trigger on him they are crazy.  RB's are simply not that valuable anymore.  Especially one that won't carry the load like a Lynch or Murray.

360 players will be gone by pick #25.

I tore my ACL and could run in a straight line no problem...cutting is a whole different ballgame.

True,  I was actually watching Davis in drills during OTAs when he fell.  I got scared.  But when I saw him walk off the field (heading back to the stadium) I was relieved because he wasn't even limping.  The next day, I learned more about ACL injuries.
