    One of the unintended consequences of Gurley’s voracious appetite for offseason workouts (even over hamburgers) — he trained at EXOS performance center in Los Angeles — was a fairly dramatic weight loss of about 10 to 15 pounds. Gurley was listed at 231 pounds a year ago, which would put him in the 216- to 221-pound range right now.

    According to Gurley, that wasn’t by design, but it’s also not an unwelcome development.

    “I don’t know what happened this offseason,” Gurley said. “I was just losing weight. It’s probably just having the first offseason not doing anything for about a month or two. I feel fine how I am. I’m not going to add weight.”

    Most people have to work hard to lose 10 to 15 pounds. Rams running back Todd Gurley is not like most people.

    Gurley says when he weighed in at the Rams’ Organized Team Activities, he discovered that he had lost about 10 to 15 pounds. That wasn’t a specific goal but wasn’t unwelcome either.

    “I don’t know what happened this offseason,” Gurley said. “I was just losing weight. It’s probably just having the first offseason not doing anything for about a month or two. I feel fine how I am so I’m not going to add weight.”

    Last offseason Gurley’s focus was on rehabbing the knee he injured during his final year in college at Georgia, whereas this offseason he’s in good health. And a little slimmer.

    i think it’s a good thing. he’ll gain some speed and it’ll also be easier on his knees.

    I don’t like it. He’s very young and a power runner. Power runner needs that extra weight. He should strive to stay as close to 230 lbs as he can. He could be at 200 lbs by the end of the season. Not good.

    The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

    Sprinkles are for winners.

    adrian peterson plays at about 220 pounds.

    i think it’s a good weight. like i said i think it’ll help with his explosion and might also be better for his joints.

    might even help him with some more elusiveness.
