"In speaking with sources from around the NFL, scouts are saying that Gurley has the physical talent to be a first-round pick. He has a great combination of size and speed. Some feel that Gurley could be the best back to enter the NFL since Adrian Peterson. Gurley has the physical skill set to be a dominant runner. He is a big back who has the speed normally associated with smaller players. Physically, there is nothing that Gurley lacks. He is a special runner with his quickness to break away from defenders and his power to run over them." - Charlie Campbell, WalterFootball.com

"Built for the NFL with a muscle-bound, physical frame and naturally lowers his pads and squares his shoulders to attack the line of scrimmage and bounce off defenders. He runs with natural balance, power and momentum that makes him tough to slow down, rarely conceding with the first tackler. No weaknesses other than the ACL tear suffered in November with a time-table to return around mid-August." - Charles Davis, NFL.com
