The 2025 season marks Year 2 for Schrader in the NFL. He went undrafted in 2024, but Schrader’s used to beating the odds. His first opportunity came with the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams claimed Schrader last season after he was waived by the 49ers.
Schrader will keep pushing carries in a crowded Rams running back room. He’ll be competing for touches with Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and Jarquez Hunter.
