Todd Gurley has been at the center of attention ever since the Los Angeles Rams’ season ended as rumors swirl about his knee. It’s been reported that he has arthritis and the Rams might consider stem cell treatment, but the team has yet to confirm it’s anything other than “wear and tear.”

While everyone speculates about his health, he was out in the community doing some great work. He was back in his hometown of Tarboro, N.C., on Monday giving back by handing out backpacks and books to elementary school students.

He even took part in this trick with a full cup of water on his head.

As a result of his outstanding work in the community, he received not just the key to the city, but to the entire Edgecombe County.

Of course, Gurley was asked about his knee and his health. He said he’s doing well and “been living my life and enjoying doing stuff like this.”

If we ever find out what’s wrong with Gurley’s knee, it probably won’t come from the running back himself. And until then, he’s enjoying the offseason and giving back.
