Only two NFL Hall of Fame players can match Todd Gurley’s 2017 production

Former Georgia and current Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley eclipsed another sterling feat on Sunday during an NFL game against the Tennessee Titans.
Gurley became just the third player in NFL history to have at least 2,000 scrimmage yards with 10 rushing touchdowns and more than five receiving TDs in a single season, according to a tweet from Randall Liu — the NFL’s senior director of football communications.
Perhaps more impressive is the company that Gurley now keeps.
There are only two other NFL players who have accomplished a similar feat — Marshall Faulk (2000, 2001) and OJ Simpson (1975) — and both of them are in the Hall of Fame.
The Rams were leading the Titans 27-23 at the time of this post in the fourth quarter.
Props to Gurley:
Todd Gurley is the 3rd player in NFL history to have at least 2,000 scrimmage yards, 10 rushing TDs & more than 5 receiving TDs in a single season.
The other 2 are in the Hall of Fame:

Gurley also did, uh, this to the Titans:
