Veteran running back Kareem Hunt is making one thing crystal clear ahead of the 2025 NFL season: he’s locked in on helping the Cleveland Browns win.
After months of speculation about his role, fitness, and even future with the team, Hunt shut down all the noise this week with a bold statement of intent. According to team insiders, he’s fully committed—mentally, physically, and emotionally—to the Browns.
“All in. No distractions. I owe this city my best,” Hunt reportedly told teammates during a private locker room meeting.
“No side noise, no second-guessing — I’m here to grind.”
Sources say Hunt has been one of the most intense competitors at training camp, showing up early, staying late, and taking on a vocal leadership role in the running backs room. After an up-and-down 2024 season, he's reportedly in the best shape of his career, with coaches praising his burst and conditioning.
This renewed focus couldn’t come at a better time for Cleveland. With injury concerns and uncertainty surrounding other offensive weapons, the Browns will need Hunt to be a stabilizing force in the backfield. His versatility—both as a rusher and a receiver—makes him a vital piece in head coach Kevin Stefanski’s scheme.
Fans have noticed the difference too. From social media videos of Hunt encouraging rookies to post-practice sprints on his own, it's clear he’s approaching this season with something to prove.
Whether it’s his final ride in Cleveland or a chance to earn another contract, Hunt’s message is clear: he’s here, he’s locked in, and he’s ready to carry the load.
