Blake Corum

PositiveBreakout0:00

Blake Corum possesses significant breakout upside, with Corum. And noting he has regained his burst. Despite Kyren Williams' presence as the incumbent starter, Corum's college pedigree—highlighted by 27 rushing touchdowns in 2023—supports a projection of 1,000 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. The Rams' front office investment of a Day 2 pick indicates a high-value role, and the coaching staff maintains complete trust in his ability to contribute immediately.

0:00Blake Corum. He's just like, man, he
0:01looks like he's got the burst back and
0:03everyone talks positive about him, but
0:06you have the Kyren Williams thing, but
0:07you have this offensive line that's a
0:09little bit of a question, but should be
0:10improved. But, you have this high-volume
0:13passing offense where you got Davante
0:15Adams and Puka and all these tight ends
0:17and and so there's just like a wild card
0:19there of thought where what will Blake
0:21Corum actually bring to the table?
0:24>> 27 rushing touchdowns in 2023 at
0:28Michigan. They win the national title
0:30with him. It feels like destiny that
0:32he's going to have one huge touchdown
0:34season. I think that there's a scenario
0:37where, you know, he ends up with 12
0:39rushing touchdowns this year, 1,000
0:41rushing yards. And you know, you talk
0:44about if Kyren goes down, if Kyren goes
0:47down, there's complete trust in this
0:49coaching staff with Corum. And we know
0:51that the front office, they used the day
0:53two pick on him with Kyren Williams on
0:56the roster. So, it feels like a destiny
0:58situation for Blake Corum. He 18 rushing
1:00touchdown season followed up by a 27 It
1:03sounds like fake numbers that we're
1:05pulling out. Uh but this is an actual
1:07thing that happened. You win the
1:09national title with 27 touchdowns. I
1:11mean, and surrounded by Sunday players
1:14on that team, too, Cody.
