Blake Corum

Corum doesn't have the conventional workhorse build at 5-foot-8, 205 pounds, but he has a workhorse skill set in the sense that he's at least competent at every single thing an offense could ever ask of a running back. Some running backs can't get volume because they physically can't hold up to it, but other running backs never get the chance at that volume in the first place because they have too many situational weaknesses to logistically stay on the field long enough to accumulate volume. Corum is the kind of player who's at the top of the list of candidates for whatever it is that a team might need from its backfield. Incumbent starter Kyren Williams had a brilliant but injury-riddled 2023 season, so it would make sense for the Rams to sprinkle in Corum more and more as the year goes along, if only to keep both players healthy all season. It's hard to throw aside productive seniority like Williams, but Corum can do anything Williams can and is the much more athletic player at about 10 pounds heavier. Read Past Outlooks
