With the 117th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams selected Jarquez Hunter, running back from Auburn. LA traded with the Houston Texans to move up 10 spots and land Hunter. It cost LA a sixth round pick—190th overall—in the trade up.
Hunter is a 5-9, 204 lbs. back that is built sturdily. He is a balanced runner that can find a second gear to break through defenses. There is also a history of contribution on special teams, which could help him carve out a role short-term behind Kyren Williams in LA.
