Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley is feeling increased pressure to win now that LeBron James is in town.

Gurley spoke about the impact James joining the Los Angeles Lakers will have on the Rams and himself Saturday during an appearance on the "PFT PM" podcast with Mike Florio.

"Once I heard about the LeBron signing, it just kind of made me wanna go out and just work out," Gurley said. "The guy's been to the Finals the last seven, eight years so that's coming to the city. The NBA Finals is coming to the city. That's what LeBron brings.

"... The Dodgers, who went to the World Series last year, and then you got a guy like LeBron, it just kind of motivates you as a player and as a team. You don't wanna be the only team not making the playoffs or the Super Bowl or the World Series. So it's definitely a motivational thing."
