  • Todd Gurley Wins 2015 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year

    NFL Honors awards

    St. Louis Rams running back Todd Gurley, who came off knee surgery in college to rush for 1,106 yards, won The Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

    Gurley missed the first two games of 2015, then went on a tear that included four straight 100-yard rushing performances, with 146, 159, 128 and 133 yards. He scored 10 touchdowns and finished the season third in the league in rushing.

    The first-round draft pick (10th overall) earned 27 votes from the nationwide panel. He beat the No. 1 draft selection, quarterback Jameis Winston of Tampa Bay, who received 17 votes.

    Gurley is the fourth Ram to take the award. He joins Hall of Fame RBs Eric Dickerson (1983) and Jerome Bettis (1993) and quarterback Sam Bradford (2010).

    Although the Rams are relocating to Los Angeles next season, Gurley had some words for the fans the franchise is leaving behind in Missouri.

    "I just want to say something to the St. Louis fans: I know you all might be disappointed that we might be leaving, but you know, it's out of our control," he said.
