Kyren Williams, the standout running back for the Los Angeles Rams, is gearing up for another impressive season. After a stellar 2023 campaign, Williams is looking to elevate his game even further, and he won't be doing it alone. The Rams have bolstered their backfield by adding rookie Blake Corum, a highly accomplished college running back.

Williams is optimistic about the impact Corum will have on the team. He believes that Corum's skills will not only complement his own but also provide the Rams with a dynamic duo in the backfield. This partnership is expected to bring more explosive plays both in the running and passing game.

"So, for me it's just living by that and just picking off of what I did last year -- being able to create more explosives in the run game, also being able to create more explosives in the pass game," Kyren Williams said. "I'm super excited that we went to go draft Blake Corum. (He's) somebody that can run the ball very well and hopefully it allows me to get to the slot or run routes out of the backfield to showcase my skills."

Corum's arrival is timely, as Williams acknowledges the need for support to maintain peak performance throughout the season. Corum's college accolades suggest he is more than capable of stepping up when needed, giving Williams the occasional breather without sacrificing the team's offensive potency.

The Rams are aiming high this season, and the addition of Corum could be the key to unlocking their full potential. With Williams leading the charge and Corum ready to contribute, Los Angeles is poised to make a significant impact in the NFL.
