The Rams have traded with the Colts to acquire the 117th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, which they are using on Auburn running back Jarquez Hunter.
The Colts moved back 10 spots in the fourth round and picked up a sixth-rounder (No. 190 overall) in the deal. Indianapolis then used the 127th pick on Iowa State’s Jalen Travis, a massive but raw offensive tackle who will need to improve his technique and balance to see the field in the NFL.
Hunter is a speedy, powerful back who racked up 2,110 rushing yards and 15 across 24 starts at Auburn in 2023 and 2024. As a ballcarrier, he explodes through the line of scrimmage and does not go down easily with balance and effort through contact. He is a reliable pass-catcher, but will need to improve his pass protection to stay on the field on third down.
In Los Angeles, Hunter will compete for snaps behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. He also has special teams experience on kickoff coverage and as a returning, which will help him see playing time right away in the NFL.
