Todd Gurley

Another position the Buffalo Bills are going to stick with their young players is at running back. The past two years they have used third round picks on Devin Singletary and Zack Moss and hope they can take that next step this year.

However, at this point, neither running back stands out as someone that could be a featured running back. This is why if the Buffalo Bills were to sign someone like Todd Gurley he would step in as the starter almost immediately.

The former first round pick looked to be on his way to a Hall of Fame career with over 4,500 rushing yards and 46 rushing touchdowns in his first four seasons. However, knee problems have slowed him down significantly the past few years but even still this past season with the Atlanta Falcons he ran for 678 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns, which would have been good enough to lead the Bills in both categories.

The Buffalo Bills have enough potential at running back to justify not making a move but if the Bills were to sign Gurley he would immediately step in as the starter.
