Here's five of Todd Gurley's top touchdowns from the 2018, where he scored 17 in the regular season!

Two-time All-Pro running back Todd Gurley has passed his Atlanta Falcons physical, according to multiple reports.

Gurley agreed to a one-year, $5.5m (£4.3m) deal with the Falcons one day after he was released by the Los Angeles Rams.

NFL facilities were closed and in-person physicals were prohibited at the height of free agency in March, forcing teams to shake on deals contingent on the completion of medical evaluations.

Both sides professed confidence the deal would be upheld despite Gurley's chronic knee issues.

Gurley, 25, was released by the Rams after a steep drop-off in production in 2019 and questions about the health of his left knee, in which he has an arthritic condition.

Atlanta general manager Thomas Dimitroff said a big role awaits Gurley after the team released Devonta Freeman, while offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter said last month the big question with Gurley is his health.

"He can do everything," Koetter said in May. "He's an excellent runner, he's good in the pass game, he can protect. The main question is - and no one seems to know - what's his health status?"
