NegativeRoleJul 13, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL

2025 Round 4 #117 pick with limited rookie season usage: played in five regular season games but zero after Week 6, with no offensive reps and only a handful of special teams snaps (one tackle on 13 special teams reps in playoff game vs. Carolina). Locked in as RB3 unless he falls out of favor; could be in line for the Ronnie Rivers role of mostly mop-up duty on offense with expanded special teams work (possibly kickoff returns). Only pro film is preseason, showing good vision following blocks, good burst into holes, nimble feet navigating traffic, and power finishing runs.

NegativeRoleJul 9, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL

Jarquez Hunter is a second-year running back who could further divide the Rams' backfield if he earns a spot in the rotation. The source notes that the split could grow even more divided if Hunter is able to earn a rotation spot, potentially making this the most divided backfield in Sean McVay's tenure. This follows the 2025 shift where Kyren Williams dropped from 69–78% of backfield workload to 54% of carries due to Blake Corum's emergence.

Drafted by the Rams alongside Blake Corum as part of a backfield depth-building effort that signals intent to reduce reliance on Kyren Williams' volume. Hunter's addition, combined with Corum's emergence and positive buzz, creates a crowded backfield situation that threatens Williams' workload.

Confident he is a good running back with tough-as-nails profile, percolating with 1500+ all-purpose yard college seasons in the SEC, representing the type of RB3 with bell cow upside to target.
