Kyren Williams and Blake Corum comprise a one-two punch that is tough for defenses to deal with. However, the Rams have also brought in some additional talent who could make some noise on the team as well.
That said, here is a look at the running backs in 2026 and some big questions regarding the unit.
Rams Running Backs on the RosterKyren Williams
Williams has been one of the most consistent players on the Rams' offense. Despite a rough start to his career, the rusher has compiled 3,834 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns through four seasons. This includes 745 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.
Despite somewhat splitting carries with Corum, Williams remains the chief bellcow for the offense.
Blake Corum
Similar to Williams, Corum has his own traits that have made him a solid contributor on the Los Angeles offense. He has 1,047 yards and six touchdowns from scrimmage, which has led to him taking on a strong rotational job.
Whie Williams handles the brunt of the carries, Corum has had success with about half as many opportunities with the ball in his hands.
Ronnie Rivers
Ronnie Rivers is an important part of the return game, as he compiled 418 yards on 16 attempts in 2025. Expect him to be seldom used in the run game, but to stick to his return prowess.
Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter was drafted by the Rams in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. After making the 53-man roster and appearing on special teams through his minimal time on the field.
Dean Connors
Dean Connors is an undrafted free agent who joined Los Angeles following the draft. He is expected to offer some competition during training camp and preseason, but will have an uphill battle to land a spot on the 53-man roster.
Biggest Running Back QuestionsConsidering the usage of Williams and Corum, will any other back be expected to take the RB3 spot? The pair have developed a balanced dual attack that may make it hard for Rivers and Hunter to get playing time.
Williams and Corum have built a solid duo, but will there be an instance where the Rams must make a decision on who to keep? Williams is signed through the 2028 season and Corum the 2029 season, leaving one to believe that the team is set on backs for the foreseeable future.
