The Los Angeles Rams have been one of the most active teams in free agency, and there’s no doubt that they’re looking for more than just an improvement on last season’s abysmal 4-12 record.

They’ve set their eyes on the NFC West title, and the drastic improvements to areas of their roster are set to make things a whole lot easier on Todd Gurley. The 2015 Offensive Rookie of the Year had a disappointing sophomore season, but the experts at Pro Football Focus believe that he’s poised to benefit more from free agency than any other player in the league.

Via ProFootballFocus:

“While Gurley is certainly at fault to some degree for his poor 2016, running behind one of the worst offensive lines in football didn’t help… and the Rams ranked 26th in run-blocking grade as a team. “The team made a huge splash in free agency by luring longtime Cincinnati Bengal left tackle Andrew Whitworth to the organization. Whitworth has graded out at 85.6 or better in every season since 2009, and has four seasons over 90.0 (which is considered elite), including three of the last four years. His presence is an immediate boost to Gurley and the Rams’ running game as a whole.”

Whitworth will surely play a major role in freeing things up for Gurley, but they must also be taking into consideration the fact that the young running back still hasn’t reached the ceiling of his potential. One offensive tackle doesn’t create a big enough difference on their own, so clearly they believe that Gurley will prove himself on his own merit as well.

PFF also noted that Gurley’s fantasy stock should jump with this move as well, so keep that in mind when you see where he ranks in your draft queue this summer.
