.....Wasn't much use in drafting him if he wasn't going to see the field, I figured he'd get a work load like Corum did his rookie year.
I was wrong.....
In 2024, KW was essentially the Rams bell cow RB. He was 3rd in the NFL in rushing attempts with 317, only behind Saquan and Henry.. Because KW didn`t really have anyone else behind him, it gave the rookie Corum an opportunity to get some carries (58) and become RB2.
Now year 2 (2025), Corum is showing improvement and playing with confidence. The Rams fed him more as the season went on, and he had success, including his first ever 100 yard game and ended the season averaging 5.1 yards per carry, which was high than KW (4.8). Unfortunately for Hunter, due to Corum`s emergence, Hunter didn`t get the same opportunity Corum had in 2024.
It`s just so hard to rotate 3 guys in and I think its a bad idea anyway. I always like keeping the hot hand in. Personally, I don`t like the running back by committee approach and never have. However, the RBBC approach the Rams used last year with KW & BC did have some success, so kudos to McVay and his coaches to find a way to make it work.
I just don`t see where Hunter fits in at all in 2026, unless there is an injury to KW or BC. How is his pass blocking? That`s another thing Corum improved a lot on.
And I still won`t be the least bit surprised if the Rams draft another RB on day 3 next month.
