Cowboys draft prospects: Blake Corum could help solve the running game issues

Related Topics: Blake Corum

Blake Corum is one of the most decorated running backs in this year’s draft class. In his collegiate career, he rushed for 3,757 yards. He had 27 rushing touchdowns in 2023. For the past two seasons, Corum has been a First-Team All-American, culminating in an MVP performance in the national championship game against Washington. Corum was named offensive MVP after running for 131 yards and two touchdowns. Here’s what the film says about the Michigan prospect.

Very rarely was Corum used in the passing game. In the games reviewed (Maryland 2022, Rutgers 2023, Penn State 2023, and Minnesota 2023), Corum only ran a route five yards from the line of scrimmage once, primarily relegated to patterns in the flats and the short middle of the field.
