The Rams selected Auburn RB Jarquez Hunter with the 118th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Hunter was Tank Bigsby's backup for his first two years at Auburn. Come 2023, the Mississippi native earned lead back work and showed promise as a rushing and receiving threat. His production peaked in 2024 with 187 carries, 1,201 yards, and 8 TDs. That’s 6.4 yards per carry – tied for fifth best among 82 RBs with 150+ attempts. He excelled as a tackle-dodger with 4.10 yards after contact per attempt and a 142.5 PFF Elusive Rating – both top-15 marks in the same sample. At 5’9, 204 pounds, Hunter is a compact back with a nice combo of strength and speed. He also showed NFL-caliber athleticism at the Combine with an 8.00 Relative Athletic Score.
