Blake Corum really does seem to have crazy instincts and vision. He runs like he's seeing the field from the same top down view that we see on TV. He's got a really good lateral cut and it's not a standardized distance like some other RB's. He can make that cut as short or as long as he needs to. Not only that, but he's able to change his speed drastically on his cuts as well he can accelerate through his lateral cuts or decelerate. With the way he runs if he had even a solid run blocking O-line infront of him, it's hard to see him not being at least somewhat successful on an NFL team. I think it's also worth mentioning that due to the style of offense Michigan played, he wasn't just running the ball into a loaded box, a lot of the time the entire defense knew he was going to get the ball, had watched the film, and tried to gameplan to stop the run, and still wasn't able to stop him. He doesn't run like he's trying to juke a single player. He runs like he's trying to juke the entire defense, which is I think exactly the style of running you want on zone runs. He treats the entire defensive formation like a single entity. His first 3 steps with the ball and speed of that acceleration are also really good (at least to my eyes). Overall, like you guys said, he just seems like an extremely sharp decisive runner. Amazing vision and technique, can hit even the most minuscule gaps, but doesn't have the absurd physical freak measurables (that bench press though).
Thanks for the stud RB. Normally, I wouldn’t like a RB to have more TDs than catches in college, but when that number of TDs is 58, I’m cool with that🤣🤣
I’m no expert but I have watched football for 39 years and played football from age 8 through college and Blake is one of the best running backs I have ever seen. His vision and lateral quickness are unmatched. And for a smaller guy he is strong and can break tackles very well. I have no doubt he will do very well in the NFL.
I was watching a Blake Corum highlight video and on 2 of his cutback runs JJ McCarthy raced down the field by his side to block for him. People wonder why he is highly considered because he didn’t throw for 400 yards a game but he’s very talented and didn’t care at all about his own stats. JJ is a team first guy and he gets total buy in from his teammates because he’s totally committed to them.
@@bronerblows is it because I said “woman” lmfao. Or are you grasping at straws because you didn’t like my mean words. What a child’s view of what’s happening. 🔴 here you dropped your nose.🤡
He was drafted for the RED ZONE. McVay is not trying to HOME RUN with Blake Corum, he'll be used in bubble screens, outlets routes, hitches and switch up plays. The Rams love Kyren Williams but they don't love how often he gets hurt, Blake is really there to take the load OFF Kyren. When Kyren went down in the Detroit game, that took a lot of air out of the offense, hence the Corum addition.
If you have any questions about Corum…. Go watch 2022 highlights before his knee injury….. He did not get back to his peak after his injury until the last 1-2 games. His vision and cutting ability are the among best I have seen.
He will go in the 3rd or 4th round, I don't think there is a first round back this year, you can find good backs in the later rounds now a day, like Williams on the Rams, in the fifth round, he is a good RB.
Pretty much a supercharged Kyren. Faster, more lateral agility, more power, similar contact balance and vision. I'm still shocked because Blake has been my favorite collegiate back of the last few years. Let's make some Superbowl runs out of it Ramily! 🐏
First name that came to mind after watching this was Jerrick McKinnon. Also, watched Donovan Edwards 2023 highlights after all these rb videos - is he gonna be a better prospect than all these cats?
Edwards was having a really, really poor season until late. Bad vision and never broke tackles. But he had surgery before that season, was non-contact all thru camp and it seemed he never truly got his legs under him. He has been adding muscle this offseason already and early indications are he looks like he is headed for a much better season. He could end up being anything from a late first rounder to a 6th-7th rounder.
He is a slightly more atheletic Kyren Williams...who led the NFL in rushing yards per game in nfl last year and Rams improved their oline in off season
@@timedell2012 you may be right but JK is on a 1 year deal so Maybe they go corum. I know the chargers want to run the ball more. We shall see. I love the NFL draft !!
@@davidhethorn8091 running a 4.53 40 yrd dash. kyren ran a 4.65 40 yrd dash. instinct, vision and ability to jump cut are more important than running a 4.4 or less.
@@joeyyoung8796 exactly. That’s why he’s the best RB in the draft. Just instincts and quick decisions paired with short burst speed agility and balance means he picks up atleast 4-10 yards everytime his oline does a decent job of keeping things clean. He’ll be great.
The vision is good, but he just isn’t snappy or fast enough to be a good RB in the nfl. Defensive ends could chase him down. At least it seems that way to me
Michigan's offensive line wasn't great this year. The reason why none of them got drafted in the first 3 rounds. Not to mention the defense knows they're running the football.

Imho vision and intellect is one of the most important traits in RBs. Corums got that, plus hes just a dawg mentally. 4.5 is enough to be a good rb
yup

This is not normal vision. This is a Pro Bowl RB
I was just thinking the same thing
I love the way he fits in the Rams duo scheme. There’ll be no drop off when Kyren Williams goes to the sideline for a breather.

We got a scared kyren owner 😂
It’s harder to run when every game every defense is gear up to stop the run. Every opponent Michigan plays know they r running the ball.
I’ve got some early rookie drafts for the first time this year, so I’m gonna need Hayden’s top 50+ rookies post-NFL draft ASAP, PLEASE!
Blake also added in the Hassan Haskins dolphin leap into the endzone this last year. Was fun to watch.
Maurice Jones -Drew covers the rams as a member of the media, now he plays for the rams too...
Sheesh him and kyren Williams is gonna be a deadly 2 headed snake at RB
GO BLUE! Blake the Great Corum. The first guy said he's " Not going to Wow you" ok BET
If you have any questions about Corum…. Go watch 2022 highlights before his knee injury…..

Kimani Vidal vid would be good, he's my RB sleeper
The Franchise Guy is super high on him. You'll have to check out his analysis.
Blake is a stud. So thankful for him. Such a great dude too. He won’t get past the Chargers in the 3rd round

Funny the Rams ended up drafting him. Def is a mold of kyren. Our run game should be better

I wonder how long it'll take for him to establish himself as one of the very best in the NFL
How did u know🤨
They probably changed the title😂
With their pick in the 2nd round, the LA Chargers select, Blake Corum, rb from Michigan..
No way he goes in the 2nd round:.. especially since Chargers got JK and Gus
@@timedell2012 you may be right but JK is on a 1 year deal so
Maybe they go corum. I know the chargers want to run the ball more. We shall see. I love the NFL draft !!
Lol 3rd round pick 83. You weren’t even close but at least you nailed which prospect they picked
With The third round pick the Rams select black Coram

Tf you talking about 😂
Wow. Called it huh
Please take him Green Bay.
L idea
Man Blake Corum is a beast he will go on the 1st round you are hating on Blake completely trash
Didn’t age well
Michigan oline was not good in 2023. There's a reason only 2 of the 6 got drafted.
Yes in 21/22 it was elite but overall it took a step back in 23.
If both of Michigan running backs had a down year who's at fualt? Probably oline
Corums going to be an excellent pro.
Are these guys kinesiologists?
