Todd Gurley Announces NFL Retirement; Former Rams, Falcons RB Named 2-Time All-Pro

During an interview with the NFL Network's Andrew Siciliano, Todd Gurley said that he is done playing football.

A long list of running backs who came before him were thanked on Tuesday.

Todd Gurley II @TG3II

The list goes on and on but I definitely wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciate them and what they meant to me as a RB. Much love and respect to everyone and wanted to give y’all fellas your flowers because without y’all there is no TG🙏🏾

Siciliano asked if he was quitting.

The purpose of the thread was to show appreciation for their games and what they had done for him as a running back.

Siliciano said "most definitely" after he confirmed that Gurley was not coming back.

During his pro career, the Georgia product racked up a number of awards.

The three-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro was named the offensive rookies of the year in 2015. After breaking out for the Rams, he became one of the league's top stars thanks to his 2,093 yards and 19 touchdown. He was named the Associated Press offensive player of the year.

The same could not be said for Gurley after that year. According to CBS Sports' Dave Richard, it was revealed that Gurley had an "arthritis component" to his knee.

Despite accumulating a respectable 1,064 scrimmage yards and 14 scores, Gurley was not the same as in the previous year. He joined Atlanta after the Rams cut him.

He had 842 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdown in one season with the Falcons. He averaged 3.5 yards per carry. It was a short-lived but tremendous career in the NFL.

Despite suffering a torn knee in his freshman year at Georgia, his career is marked with great success. That didn't stop him from becoming a star in the National Football League for a few years before he became the engine to the Rams offense.

He retired with 8,336 yards from scrimmage and 81 touchdown.
