It only took 1 practice for a Rams newbie to get the 'Battering Ram" nickname

Before the Los Angeles Rams entered the 2025 NFL Draft, it was nearly impossible to envision a role for a rookie running back.

Sure, one football means limited snaps and carries to every running back on the team. But with the team settling into a cookie-cutter approach to running backs last season, Hunter breaks the mold in a good way.

The problem with the Rams depth chart at the running back position is that the team had four rushers with nearly identical height, weight, and speed.
