Situation

Name: Blake Corum

Position: Running Back

Pro Team: Los Angeles Rams

College Team: Michigan

Draft Status: Round three, 19th overall

Corum was a top 20 running back prospect in the 2020 recruiting class. He saw little time in the shortened COVID season but became a big part of the offense in 2021. He was lightning in the tandem with Hassan Haskins and ran for over 900 yards. If it was not for a late-season ankle injury he would have surpassed the 1,000-yard mark. In 2022, the spotlight was all his and he was on his way to a possible Heisman trophy with over 1,400 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns. Another injury derailed his season and cost the Wolverines in the playoffs.
