Todd Gurley Rookie Cards Guide and Checklist

An explosive young star with plenty of name recognition, Todd Gurley has emerged as one of the top backs in the NFL. Already one of the key collecting options from the 2015 draft class, Todd Gurley rookie cards are primed for some big growth if he remains healthy and productive.

Drafted in 2015 by the St. Louis Rams (now Los Angeles Rams) with the 10th pick, Gurley finished his rookie year with 10 touchdowns, over 1,100 rushing yards, a Pro Bowl invite, and the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. After a down year in 2016, things picked up again in 2017 and 2018, and the Rams even started winning thanks to the offensive success of Gurley and quarterback Jared Goff.
