Blake Corum

Corum doesn't have the conventional workhorse build at 5-8, 205, but he has a workhorse skill set in the sense that he's at least competent at every single thing an offense could ask of a running back. He looks like the kind of player that can provide whatever it is that a team might need in the backfield, though he's neither especially large nor fast (4.53 40). All the same, he had 4,148 yards from scrimmage and 68 TDs in four seasons at Michigan, with at least 247 carries and 1,245 rushing yards both of the past two years. The Rams took him in the third round this April, 83rd overall, after incumbent starter Kyren Williams had a brilliant but injury-riddled 2023. It would make sense for the Rams to sprinkle in Corum more and more as the year goes along, if only to keep Williams healthy. They might not even lose much when they take Williams off the field, as Corum is a similarly well-rounded player with the skills to make up for unremarkable athleticism. If nothing else, Corum looks like one of the top handcuffs at his position, likely sitting one Williams injury away from a starting role in a high-quality offense that has a track record for using its lead backs heavily and getting them into the end zone.
