The Los Angeles Rams drafted Jarquez Hunter with the No. 117 despite rostering two solid running backs already in Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Hunter was very productive in college but should start third on the depth chart behind Williams and Corum.

Hunter spent four seasons at Auburn, rushing for over 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns during his senior year in 2024. His best performance came against Kentucky, a game in which he rushed for a career-high 278 yards on 23 carries in a 24-10 win. Those 278 yards are the fourth-most all time by an Auburn player in a single game.

The Los Angeles Rams have selected Auburn running back Jarquez Hunter with the 117th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
