Todd Gurley believes he should be the No. 1 pick

Every player in the draft should feel the way Todd Gurley does, but he's just being a little more vocal about it.
Despite not seeing a running back go in the first round since 2012, the Georgia star thinks he is worthy of the top pick this time around.
Gurley said he believes he's worthy of the No. 1 overall pick: You might think it sounds ridiculous, but I know what I can do

Gurley is unquestionably an incredible talent, but a torn ACL suffered in November may make teams think twice about spending an early pick on him.
That said, Gurley's 42 touchdowns in three seasons with the Bulldogs should be enough to end the first-round drought for running backs.
