Corum’s decisive 17-yard touchdown in overtime secured Michigan’s 27-20 victory over Alabama, propelling them to the National Championship Game.

In the receiving department, he caught 16 passes for 117 yards and one touchdown, boasting an average of 7.3 yards per catch.
As the 2024 NFL Draft approaches, projections place Blake Corum as a second-round pick. With the Green Bay Packers holding two selections in that round and a potential need for a running back, fans are speculating about the team’s strategy.
