Todd Gurley Encouraged By Sean McVay's Offense

Jul 9, 2017 4:31 PM

Todd Gurley has been encouraged by what he's seen so far from Sean McVay's offense.

Gurley averaged 3.2 yards per carry last season as he ran behind an ineffective offensive line.

Gurley added that he has "definitely been loving" McVay's style of offense, which for now has the back focusing on daily preparation and being a "situational master."

During minicamp, the Rams were moving Gurley all around the offensive formation.
