LOS ANGELES -- When the Rams traded up to draft Auburn running back Jarquez Hunter in the fourth round last month, he joined a crowded backfield, with four other running backs who saw playing time for the team last season.
The group includes Kyren Williams, a fifth-round pick in 2022 who has become the Rams' clear starter at the position but is entering the final season of his rookie deal.
Rams coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead met with Williams' agent at the NFL league meetings in early April about a possible extension.
