Gurley leads off a 14-page NFL package that delves into the league-leading numbers being put up by the Rams’ rookie running back and Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones.

Gurley ranks second among NFL running backs in average yards per game (101.3), third in rushing yards (709) and tied for fourth in touchdowns (5).
