Todd Gurley reaches 5,000 career rushing yards, 6th Rams RB ever

Todd Gurley’s career got off to an outstanding start, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year and making the Pro Bowl in 2015 despite only starting 12 games. His production took a dip in 2016 under Jeff Fisher, but he got back on track in 2017 and 2018 with back-to-back All-Pro seasons.

As much as he’s struggled this season, he still reached 5,000 career rushing yards before turning 26. He did so on Sunday night against the Bears, becoming the sixth Rams player ever to reach that number.

The others are Steven Jackson (10,138 yards), Eric Dickerson (7,245), Marshall Faulk (6,959), Lawrence McCutcheon (6,186) and Dick Bass (5,417).

Gurley got off to a hot start against the Bears, rushing for 42 yards in the first quarter alone after fumbling it on his first carry.
