Todd Gurley may not be as sympathetic about the Rams move to Los Angeles as the St. Louis fans he leaves behind.
A Reddit Q&A with Gurley from nine months ago, before he was drafted by the Rams, was unearthed, and one of his answers showed his affinity for the City of Angels. A Reddit user asked the running back where his ideal place to live would be.

"LA," he wrote, according to Sports Illustrated. "No team there, though."
Well, there is now.

An owners vote approved the Rams' move to Los Angeles on Jan. 12, and the running back will now call L.A. his home. Gurley had a breakout rookie season in 2015, rushing for 1,106 yards on 229 carries and scoring 10 touchdowns.
Gurley had such a great season, that he was selected to the NFL's Pro Bowl, which emanates this Sunday live from Hawaii.
Many fans in St. Louis are outraged over losing their team, and while Gurley likely feels bad for them, deep down he must be excited to be playing in what he called his ideal place to live.
Though the Rams were mixed up in relocation rumors when the question was asked, Gurley wasn't yet a player on the team. The stars aligned, and he was selected 10th overall in the NFL draft by the then-St. Louis-based franchise. Nearly one year later, and they're on the move.
It's a pretty crazy story, but now Gurley will look to build upon his impressive rookie season in the city he wanted to live in the most.
