One Offensive Position the Rams Have Nothing to Worry About

The Los Angeles Rams offense is among the best in the NFL. What's one position they won't have to worry about in the future?

In this story:

The Los Angeles Rams have the offensive infrastructure for them to continue being dominant even if their veteran quarterback were to retire next offseason. It all comes down to the man in charge and his offensive brilliance.

Sean McVay has continued to be one of the greatest offensive minds the league has ever seen, and what makes him so timeless is his ability to continue evolving. Matthew Stafford's potential retirement puts pressure on them to find their next signal caller, but what position don't they have to worry about for their future at all?

Why They Don’t Have to Worry

The position the Rams have to worry about the least is their running backs, and it's for the simple reason that they're all under contract for the next two seasons and show no signs of stopping. Kyren Williams didn't stop playing his heart out after he got a contract extension.

His 2025 season was slightly worse than his 2024 campaign, but that's just because he wasn't asked to do everything for them in their rushing attack. He's only 24 and is under contract until 2028. He's going to be a premier weapon for their offense for the next couple of years.

Blake Corum

Blake Corum's contract may expire in 2027, but he's one of the biggest reasons why the Rams don't have to worry about drafting another running back any time soon. He broke out in 2025 and ran through the goal line six times in 145 carries.

He plays the position similarly to Williams, so if their primary running back were to go down with an injury, they have the next best thing in Corum. McVay should continue increasing his workload, and they need to re-sign him once his rookie contract is up. He's one of the best backup running backs in the NFL, and could easily be another team's starter if they let him go.

Jarquez Hunter

However, if they do let him go, they have an intriguing backup option in Jarquez Hunter, who could take his place. He'll need to have an impressive sophomore season for them to consider him a long-term piece of their offense, but he certainly has the potential to shake up their running back room.

Unlike his teammates, he has the speed to add another layer of explosiveness to their offense. He hasn't shown anything in the NFL yet, but his potential is enough to make their running back outlook even brighter than it already is.
