L.A. already has a Pro Bowler in the backfield, but here’s how Michigan RB Blake Corum provides a link to the team’s Super Bowl season.
When the Rams won the Super Bowl three seasons ago, they used a stable of running backs that included Cam Akers, Darrell Henderson Jr. and Sony Michel. Coach Sean McVay appears to be taking a similar approach this season with the selection of Michigan product Blake Corum in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The Rams also signed scatback Boston Scott in free agency. At 5-foot-8 and 205 pounds, Corum was the workhorse back helping to lead Michigan to the national championship last season.
They also had a 77% success rate on third and short rushes in 2023, good enough for No. 6 in the NFL. According to Pro Football Focus, Corum converted 46 first downs in short-yardage situations while at Michigan and had a 73% first down/touchdown rate, both tops in his running back draft class.
