Georgia running back Todd Gurley is scheduled for a visit with the New England Patriots this week, according to reports Sunday.

Gurley, who sustained a torn ACL in his left knee last season and underwent surgery in November, reportedly is healthy ahead of the NFL Draft. Gurley had the knee examined in Indianapolis and no problems were found, according to NFL Network.

NFLDraftScout.com ranks Gurley as the top running back and No. 14 overall in the draft, which will take place in Chicago beginning April 30.

Gurley is not expected to be on the board when the defending Super Bowl champions make the 32nd pick, meaning the Patriots likely would have to trade up to get him.
