"So he'll be sneaking into Jim Harbaugh's office" "Draft steal": CFB world divided over Rams picking Blake Corum in Round 3 of NFL Draft

Former Michigan RB Blake Corum had an incredible ending to his collegiate career in Ann Arbor. Apart from an incredible four-season stint under former HC Jim Harbaugh, the 23-year-old ended his collegiate career last season by clinching the undisputed national championship title.

After a glorious end to his journey, Blake Corum declared for the 2024 NFL draft. And in the third round, he was picked by the Los Angeles Rams as the 83rd overall pick. Following Corum's draft, college football fans took to social media to share their opinions.

One fan wrote that Blake Corum can now make his way to meet Jim Harbaugh at the Chargers anytime he wants.

"So he'll be sneaking into Harbaugh's office in SoFi all the time"

Another fan wrote that the Rams made a good decision by drafting the running back.

"Another draft steal by the Rams."

This fan talked about how Harbaugh will now have to watch his ex-player on another team.

"Love that Harbaugh has to see him kill it from across the hall."

Another fan expressed his excitement about watching Blake Corum be successful in the NFL.

"This! What a selection by the Rams! If you watched any CFB you knows this guy is about to eat"

This fan said that the Rams did not need Corum since they already had Kyren Williams.

"They literally have Kyren...there is NO reason for this pick."

Another spectator pointed out that, despite playing in the same stadium, Harbaugh and Corum are rivals in the NFL.

"Same stadium as Harbaugh, but different organization. Awesome."

This fan already predicted Corum's journey in the NFL.

Blake Corum's college career and stats

The 23-year-old joined the Wolverines as a true freshman in 2020 during the COVID-19-shortened season. During his debut campaign, Corum put up 77 rushing yards and two touchdowns. As a sophomore, the running back tallied 952 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games.

During the 2022 season, Corum suffered a torn meniscus and sprained MCL during Michigan's game against Illinois. This led to him requiring surgery and eventually bringing an early end to his season before the Big 10 title game and the playoff game. He put up 1463 rushing yards and 18 TDs.

Blake Corum then decided to return for his senior year last season, during which he put up 1245 rushing yards and 27 TDs to help Michigan three-peat the Big Ten title and emerge as national champions. It will be interesting to see how he performs during his professional journey in the NFL.
