Former Michigan running back Blake Corum discussed choosing the Wolverines over Ohio State, his mentality as a workhorse tailback and more on The Herd with Colin Cowherd
He's arguably the greatest running back to ever don the winged helmet, and his legacy will carry on in Ann Arbor until the end of time.
"I committed on the spot," Corum said. "I took two official visits. I wanted to commit before my senior year of high school, and I took one to Ohio State and then I took my next one to Michigan and I committed on the spot. I went up to Coach Harbaugh's office and I said, 'I'm coming'.""It was because of his coaching style, his demeanor for the game, his love for the game, his passion for his players," he said.
"My whole life everyone always called me a smaller back," Corum said. "But when it comes to strength-wise or pound-for-pound, there's not too many guys who can outlift me in the weight room. So, I try to use that to my advantage for sure. Like, there will be linebackers in the game and they're like, 'Hey man, I can't see you until you already hit the hole.
"Nah, I never worried about that," he said. "I was always like, 'Hey coach, if you need me to run it 40 times, I'll run it 40 times.' I think it's all about a mindset, but I also think it's about how you take care of your body. Obviously, every running back wants to chase longevity, but not everyone takes care of their body properly. You might not get a couple massages a week, or go in and get treatment.
