It wasn’t necessarily a surprise when the Los Angeles Rams selected a running back in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Rams have drafted a running back every year that Sean McVay has been the head coach. In addition, while the Rams had a strong running game last year, it lacked a lot of variety. It’s great to have a running game that can keep an offense on schedule. At the same time, having a running back that can make plays in space and create explosives can take an offense to another level.
This is what the Rams running game has lacked consistently.
