When Williams went down last year, the Rams tried to cobble things together with a combination of Royce Freeman, Darrell Henderson, and Ronnie Rivers. It's not surprising then that the team chose to upgrade that spot in the draft, selecting Corum in the third round. The rookie doesn't jump off the page from a physical perspective, boasting a smallish frame (5-foot-8, 205 pounds) and average speed, but he was highly productive at Michigan.
Corum is relentless as a runner with good strength, making him tough to bring down -- to that end, he set the FBS single-season record with 27 rushing touchdowns last year. He's also ready to step in on passing downs, showing toughness in blitz pickup and the hands to contribute as an outlet for Stafford. He'll spell Williams when both are healthy, and he gives the Rams some insurance if Williams again deals with injuries. Consider Corum a borderline RB4/RB5.

Broken right forearm for Blake Corum, out for the playoffs Rams lose their No.2 RB By: Mike Krueger | Sun Jan 5, 7:53 pm
| | #Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters that RB Blake Corum broke his right forearm and is out for the playoffs. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Corum was set to get substantial playing time in Week 18 but finished with just 3 touches for 22 yards. Ronnie Rivers handled 16 touches and figures to be the backup behind Kyren Williams when the Rams face the Vikings or Lions, pending the outcome of the Sunday night game in Week 18.
