He rushed for more touchdowns than any Michigan Wolverine in history. He finished his college career by finding the end zone in 26 consecutive games, including the 2023 national championship.
Yet here we are in December, entering Week 14, and having just turned 24 years old a few days ago, rookie running back Blake Corum still doesn't have his first NFL touchdown.
"I miss (the end zone) a lot," Corum admitted this week on Rams Revealed. "I know it has to be coming soon, because I know the end zone misses me."
The Los Angeles Rams are the only team in the NFL that has not produced rushing touchdowns from multiple players – and that stat has been true for quite a while. It's unorthodox how heavily they've leaned on lead back Kyren Williams, who punched in his 10th last Sunday in New Orleans.
Yet the win over the Saints was the most productive rushing day of the season for the Rams, who amassed 156 yards collectively, and Corum played an increased role, contributing 42 of those rushing yards on eight carries.
"It was awesome, because I feel like we were feeding off each other (in New Orleans)," he added.
On this episode, Corum goes in depth on his upbringing in rural Virginia, his growth as a professional, how he continues to give back over the Thanksgiving holiday, and of course he had something to say about the Wolverines' upset of Ohio State.
He and the Rams are 6-6 on the season and host the AFC East champions, the Buffalo Bills, this Sunday at SoFi Stadium.
