UPDATE: L.A. Rams running back Blake Corum is making headlines not just for his on-field performance but also for his touching support of a fan battling health issues. As the NFL season approaches, Corum is set to bolster the Rams’ offense while simultaneously uplifting the spirits of Joe, a Michigan fan undergoing dialysis in wait for a kidney transplant.
Corum, who graduated with honors from the University of Michigan and secured a national championship in 2024, is returning to the field after a season-ending injury suffered last January. “It’s a business, and you have to really attack each and every day,” Corum emphasized. “You can’t take any days off, and you’re getting evaluated every day.” His resilience reflects both his athletic commitment and his personal philosophy.
In an inspiring gesture, Corum sent Joe an autographed helmet adorned with heartfelt notes of encouragement. “Joe, what I would tell you is, the type of person you are, you motivate me,” Corum shared. “Keep fighting, man. Nothing is said and done until the good Lord says so. He has the last word, so keep smiling every day that you can.” This personal connection highlights Corum’s character off the field as he takes the time to support those in need.
As Corum prepares for the upcoming season, he remains focused on his recovery and the importance of patience. “I’ve learned that you have to take your time with everything. You can’t force anything,” he stated. With the NFL season kicking off soon, all eyes are on Corum to see how he will perform as he brings his determination and compassion to both his game and his community.
Stay tuned for more updates as Corum continues his journey with the Rams and his ongoing support for fans like Joe.
