ATLANTA, Ga. – A person familiar with the deal says the Atlanta Falcons have agreed to a one-year deal with three-time Pro Bowl running back Todd Gurley, The person told The Associated Press about the agreement on Friday on condition of anonymity because the deal will not be official until Gurley passes a physical.
The league isn’t allowing players to report to new teams immediately for those physicals during the coronavirus pandemic. Gurley will be making a return to the state of Georgia.
He was a standout at the University of Georgia, rushing for more than 3,000 yards in three seasons. The agreement with the 25-year-old Gurley comes less than a week after the Falcons released running back Devonta Freeman.
