Kareem Hunt is a guy that I think may get overlooked at the running back position. He is a three year starter from Toledo and rushed for just under 5,000 yards in four years.

In 2016, Hunt rushed for 1,475 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was a threat out of the backfield as well. He had 403 receiving yards and he scored a touchdown to go with it. His receiving numbers his senior year were greater than his numbers in his first three years combined.

He has good size, but the speed isn’t really there for Hunt. He does have the ability to come out of the back field, but his small size may be an issue for him.

Kareem Hunt could be a late round pick. He will probably be drafted somewhere in the sixth or seventh round of the draft.
