Green Bay Packers supporters were watching running back Blake Corum’s performance in the College Football Playoff Semifinals between the Michigan Wolverines and the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Rose Bowl. Corum scored the game-winning 17-yard touchdown in overtime as Michigan defeated Alabama 27-20 to advance to the National Championship Game.
After defeating the Texas Longhorns 37-31 in the All-State Sugar Bowl, they will face the Washington Huskies. Blake Corum ran for 83 yards on 19 rushes and one touchdown against Alabama, averaging 4.4 yards per carry. He also grabbed two passes for 35 yards and a touchdown, with an average of 17.5 yards per reception.
Corum has run for 1,111 yards on 237 rushes and 25 touchdowns for Michigan this season, averaging 4.7 yards per carry. He has caught only 16 passes for 117 yards and one touchdown, averaging 7.3 yards per catch.
Blake Corum is expected to be drafted in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The Green Bay Packers will have two picks in that round, and a running back could be one of their requirements. There will be discussions regarding what to do with Aaron Jones’ contract and whether to re-sign A.J. Dillon.
Corum is 23 years old, and if he is selected in the 2024 NFL Draft, he would provide even more youth to the Packers offensive. Hopefully, fans are speaking up about this player to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
Fans of the Green Bay Packers on Twitter want Blake Corum to join the team next season.
Corum will be one of the first running backs selected in the NFL Draft in 2024. Several supporters tweeted during the game about how much they would like to see him in Green Bay’s offense next season. The 5’8″ 213-pound rushing back would add a new dimension to the Packers game. A hard-nosed runner who effortlessly hits the hole.
There is no doubt that the Packers will select a running back in the 2024 NFL Draft. Patrick Taylor Jr. is the team’s only other running back. If Aaron Jones is not re-signed and A.J. Dillon is not re-signed, Corum would be a good place to start when it comes to overhauling the Packers’ running back room.
