Corum's rookie year couldn't have been much more quiet than it was, as the Rams gave Corum no more than eight carries in a game -- a figure that marked the season high for Corum and one that occurred only three times. Teams sometimes draft running backs in the first three rounds even without the intention of using them in Year 1, but it can't be a good sign that Sean McVay all but refused to give Corum snaps even though Kyren Williams' fumble count (five) exceeded his rushing average (4.1 YPC). It's possible that McVay cannot be moved to alter Williams' playing time without being forced to by injury, so the RB2 role and a similar workload to his rookie year might be the best Corum can do in 2025. Moreover, the selection of fourth-round firecracker Jarquez Hunter out of Auburn cannot read as a good omen for Corum, even if Corum does everything right from here. At just 5-foot-8, 205, with a 4.53-second 40 Corum is clearly bigger and faster than Williams, but Hunter has an even more pronounced advantage there thanks to his 4.44 wheels.
