    • April 26, 2025

    LOS ANGELES — The Rams traded up 10 spots in the fourth round of the NFL draft on Saturday, moving up to take Auburn running back Jarquez Hunter with the 117th overall pick.

    Hunter — a 5-foot-10, 209-pound prospect — rushed 187 times for 1,201 yards and eight touchdowns as a senior, averaging 6.4 yards per carry. Per Pro Football Focus, he averaged 4.1 yards after contact per carry in 2024. He also was active in the pass game with 21 catches for 155 yards and an additional score.

    The Rams traded a sixth-round pick (190th overall) to the Indianapolis Colts to move up from 127th overall to 117th to take Hunter.

    Hunter’s selection marks the eighth year in a row the Rams have taken a running back in the draft. Last year, the Rams selected Blake Corum in the third round last April.
