Blake Corum is still very much a ‘Michigan Man’. Even though he’s entered the NFL this year, Wolverines fans continue to see him as one of their own. It might be a bit of an adjustment to see him in his new Los Angeles Rams gear, but it’s the reality now.

Today, the LA Rams are taking on the Detroit Lions at Michigan’s Ford Field. Many fans would have thought Corum would end up with Detroit, but the draft day had other plans, and he joined the Rams instead. Now, Corum steps into the Lions’ den as their opponent, but Michigan fans are still rooting for him.

On Sunday, as Blake Corum walked through Ford Field, a young fan handed him his old Michigan #2 jersey, and Corum happily signed it, excited for his NFL debut in Detroit.

Well, the Lions are the favs in this matchup, but Corum’s debut with the Rams adds an element of surprise. With Rams’ starting RB Kyren Williams acting as the punt returner, Corum is getting his shot. He’s currently second on the Rams’ depth chart and is eager to make a big impression tonight. Interestingly, the team boldly drafted him in the third round, even though they already had Williams in place. Now Corum is in a position to shatter any doubts about him and show that he’s really worth that pick. Well, tonight is the perfect day to do it.

Even his HC is all confident that Blake Corum can make happen. We mean, all his coaches! The ex-Michigan man not just has the heart of young fans but the heart of his Michigan coach too! 

Sherrone Moore backs Blake Corum

Ever since Blake Corum decided to enter the NFL and his former coach Jim Harbaugh joined the LA Chargers, there have been rumors about the two reuniting. However, fate took a different turn, and Corum ended up with the other LA team, the Rams.

Well, his new head coach, Sean McVay, is all thrilled to have him on board. McVay has been praising Corum even before his debut season, saying, “On the offensive side, I’ve been pleased with a lot of guys, but Blake Corum has really stood out.” McVay also raved about Corum’s maturity and how well he “handles himself.”

But the praise doesn’t stop with McVay. Michigan Wolverines’ new head coach, Sherrone Moore, is also proud of his former player. Moore shared McVay’s words on Instagram, giving Corum a huge shoutout. In fact, Moore has always been a big hype-man of Corum, even calling him a “tremendous ambassador for the community.” Well, we’re seeing that with the love and support he’s getting in Detroit now.
