Blake Corum has big plans in 2024 after winning the national championship in his final season with Michigan. The running back has announced his decision to enter the NFL draft this year and has already begun preparation for the tests ahead.
On Thursday, Corum took to his Instagram story and posted two videos of him training. The running back looked sharp as he made a few catches and took part in some other drills.
In the first video clip, Corum wrote:
"Steady crafting!! 2024 my year!!"
Although Corum is primarily part of a team's offensive backfield, he also flaunted his catching skills. In a second video clip, he grabbed a reception after some nifty movement, highlighting his versatility. He didn't forget to mention it in the post as well and wrote:
"Versatile!!"
The fact that Corum has returned to training just a few weeks after leading Michigan to the national championship title shows his ambition. His athletic ability will surely be tested at the NFL Combine.
Many analysts and fans predict that Corum might get picked late in the first round of the upcoming draft.
