The Los Angeles Rams struck gold in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting running back Jarquez Hunter, a standout from Auburn University. Hunter, who lit up the SEC with an impressive 6.4 yards per carry and over 1,200 rushing yards in 2024, possesses remarkable speed, highlighted by his 4.44-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. He also ranked second in the entire FBS with an explosive run rate of 18.9%, showcasing his ability to break off long runs.

Despite initially being positioned behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum on the depth chart, Hunter's unique talent suggests that Rams' coach Sean McVay will find innovative ways to integrate him into the offensive scheme. Given the uncertainty surrounding Williams' contract and Corum's performance post-rookie season, Hunter could emerge as a crucial offensive asset for the Rams in the near future.
