Kareem Hunt played college football at the University of Toledo from 2013 to 2016, where he was a standout running back for the Rockets. During his four-year college career, he rushed for 4,945 yards and 44 touchdowns, averaging 6.3 yards per carry.

Hunt was a two-time First-Team All-MAC selection in 2014 and 2016, and he also earned Second-Team All-MAC honors in 2015. In 2014, he led the MAC in rushing yards with 1,631, which was also the seventh-highest total in the nation that year. He followed that up with another impressive season in 2015, rushing for 973 yards and 12 touchdowns despite missing three games due to injury.

After his college career, Hunt was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He had an impressive rookie season, rushing for 1,327 yards and eight touchdowns and earning Pro Bowl honors. However, in 2018, Hunt was released by the Chiefs after a video surfaced of him assaulting a woman. He was then signed by the Cleveland Browns in February 2019, and he has since been a key contributor for the team.

In his two seasons with the Browns, Hunt has rushed for 1,145 yards and 11 touchdowns, while also contributing as a receiver out of the backfield. Despite some off-field issues earlier in his career, Hunt has been a productive player in the NFL and remains a key part of the Browns’ offense.
