This past Monday night, Todd Gurley set the record for most touchdowns by a former Georgia Bulldog running back in the NFL. Gurley scored two touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers to bring his career total to 62 rushing touchdowns.
Georgia Bulldog legend Herschel Walker is second on the list with 61 career NFL touchdowns. Not far behind is UGA and Denver Broncos great Terrell Davis (60 TDs). This is an impressive accomplishment, especially considering that Todd Gurley is only 26 years old.
Gurley also has a dozen career receiving touchdowns. He currently has the 46th most rushing touchdowns in NFL history. Emmitt Smith has the most rushing touchdowns in NFL history at 164.
Todd Gurley’s career high in rushing touchdowns (17) came in 2018 with the Los Angeles Rams.
It is not all good news for Gurley. Unfortunately, the Atlanta Falcons have started the season 0-4. Despite the poor record for the Falcons, Gurley’s career accomplishments deserve recognition.
Gurley ran for 36 rushing touchdowns during his career at the University of Georgia. Only Nick Chubb (44) and Herschel Walker (49) ran for more touchdowns at Georgia than Gurley. Lars Tate scored 36 career rushing touchdowns as well.
