Todd Gurley has once again established himself as a top running back in the NFL after his disappointing season in 2016, ranking third in rushing this year with 1,187 yards on 257 attempts. Sean McVay has played a big role in his resurgence, scheming the offense to fit his style.

One of the ways he’s done that is by lining Gurley up deep in the backfield with Jared Goff under center, allowing him to see holes develop up front. The numbers are there to back it up, too, with Gurley ranking first in the NFL in rushing yards with the quarterback under center.

As you can see, it’s not really close, either. He has 134 more yards from under center than any other running back, accounting for all but 86 of his rushing yards this season. Goff has attempted nearly twice as many passes out of the shotgun (286 to 154), while Gurley has only carried the ball 32 times out of the gun.

That shows how infrequently the Rams run the ball out of the shotgun, more often than not throwing the ball out of that formation. Gurley only averages 2.7 yards per carry when flanking Goff in the gun, which is why McVay opts not to give him many carries from that set.
