2026 Outlook
Jarquez Hunter enters his second NFL season competing for the third RB role on the Rams depth chart. After taking a redshirt year as a rookie, Hunter is competing against Ronnie Rivers for the final RB roster spot. To earn playing time, Hunter must prove he can contribute on special teams—a non-negotiable requirement given the Rams' depth at the position. His primary advantage: elite speed relative to other Rams backs (Blake Corum lacks long speed; Kyren Williams has clear speed limitations). If Hunter can crack the special teams rotation and stay healthy, he has potential as a third-down weapon or injury-fill candidate. Otherwise, he risks being cut before the season.
