Rams’ Fourth-Round Pick Jarquez Hunter: The Game-Changer No One Saw Coming?

The Los Angeles Rams are closing in on wrapping up their draft class signings, with just a lone athlete still unsigned. This past Friday, the team locked down their fourth-round gem, Jarquez Hunter, who inked a four-year contract to bring his Auburn-honed skills to the fold. Hunter, no stranger to the grind, logged 49 games over four seasons and carved out over 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of his final two years, tallying 16 touchdowns along the way. With Kyren Williams, Blake Corum, and Ronnie Rivers already returning from last season’s backfield lineup, the Rams are shaping a robust running back corps. Meanwhile, second-round tight end Terrance Ferguson remains the sole unsigned player among this year’s six draftees. This business is heating up — and Rams fans should keep their eyes peeled.
