Even with Cam Akers putting together a strong finish to the 2022 season, Sean McVay would likely tell you he wants more out of the running back position moving forward. Akers figures to have a role in 2023, but it remains to be seen who else will get touches out of the backfield.
Malcolm Brown and rookie Kyren Williams saw the field in spurts at the end of last season, however, neither of them did enough to secure them a prominent role next season. Besides free agency, the Rams could look to use the 2023 NFL draft as a way to improve their running back room.
With a need for a versatile back, the Rams could express interest in Eric Gray out of Oklahoma in this year’s draft.
