Rams RB Blake Corum thinks this NFC QB will have a successful season
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum is a big believer in his college quarterback heading into 2025. Corum, who went to Michigan, told The Rich Eisen Show this week that he believes Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy will be very successful in his first NFL season after he missed the 2024 season with a knee injury. "I think he's going to be very successful this season," Corum said. "I think he's going to play with that chip on his shoulder just to prove to himself and everyone else that he is who he says he is. And he has the tools around him to be successful. Just knowing JJ, knowing how he grinds, knowing how smart he is and his love for the game, I see a very successful year for him and his group." McCarthy was the No. 10 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but suffered a season-ending meniscus tear in his right knee during the preseason. Now, though, the Vikings gave him the reigns to start under center after the team didn't bring back Sam Darnold. Corum, the No. 83 pick in the 2024 draft, played three years with McCarthy at Michigan from 2021 to 2024 and won a national championship in 2024. He rushed 58 times for 207 yards and no touchdowns as a rookie for the Rams. L.A. doesn't play Minnesota this year, so the only time Corum and McCarthy could face each other would be in the playoffs. The Rams took down the Vikings in the 2024 Wild Card Round, but both Corum and McCarthy were on injured reserve and didn't play.

7 Rams players with the most to prove in training camp, including Stetson Bennett
Training camp is the ultimate proving ground for players each summer, giving them the opportunity to not only make the regular-season roster, but rise up the depth and earn meaningful playing time. The Los Angeles Rams kick things off with their first practice at Loyola Marymount University this week and these seven players have a lot to prove. Stetson Bennett is atop the list, aiming to make the Rams' 53-man roster for the third straight year despite a tough start in his first two seasons since being draft. QB Stetson Bennett Bennett managed to make the 53-man roster last season despite struggling badly in the preseason, but he may not be afforded such a long leash this time around. With the Rams' roster getting even deeper across the board, they may not have the luxury of keeping three quarterbacks again. Since being drafted in the fourth round, Bennett has struggled with turnovers in the preseason and looked a bit overmatched. His athleticism is encouraging but in terms of becoming an NFL-level passer, he has a long way to go still. RB Blake Corum Corum joined the Rams as a third-round pick last year and despite a perception that he might push Kyren Williams for playing time, that never happened. He carried the ball just 58 times for 207 yards, an average of 3.4 rushes for 12.2 yards per game. Those aren't the numbers anyone expected to see from the former Wolverine, getting very little chance to prove himself as a rookie. This season, Corum faces more pressure with the arrival of rookie Jarquez Hunter, a fourth-round pick out of Auburn. He's a faster, more explosive running back than Williams and Corum, which could conceivably push him ahead of Corum as the RB2. Corum must prove he can be the next man up if he wants to hold onto his position on the depth chart. TE Davis Allen It's approaching "now or never" time for Allen, a third-year tight end who was drafted in the fifth round out of Clemson. He's currently penciled in as the No. 4 tight end behind Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson and Colby Parkinson, so he's not even a lock to make the 53-man roster again. With his size and athletic profile, he has a chance to be productive in the NFL, as we saw during his rookie year when he caught 10 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown, but his opportunities were few and far between last year despite Higbee missing most of the season. OL KT Leveston Leveston spent his rookie year on injured reserve, the only draft pick by the Rams in 2024 to play zero games last season. It was an unfortunate way to start his NFL career, essentially making this his rookie year. As a former seventh-round pick, his job isn't yet secured so he's got work to do. Leveston played tackle in college and could remain there with the Rams, but with D.J. Humphries, David Quessenberry and Warren McClendon Jr. all competing to be backup tackles, there may not be much room for Leveston. He may have to cut his teeth at guard instead. DT Desjuan Johnson The defensive line is pretty open after the top four of Braden Fiske, Kobie Turner, Poona Ford and Ty Hamilton. Tyler Davis should probably make the team, too, but Johnson, Larrell Murchison and others will be competing for a roster spot further down the depth chart. Johnson was Mr. Irrelevant in 2024 and has only played 14% and 18% of the defensive snaps the last two seasons, so he hasn't been on the field much. The time is now for him to prove he belongs on the roster. OLB Brennan Jackson Jackson missed time last summer with an injury, which was an unfortunate setback during his rookie year. He sat out the first five games and wound up playing just seven total games (47 snaps) all season. Like Leveston, the Rams didn't get much of a look at their fifth-round rookie, which gives Jackson an opportunity to showcase his skill set for truly the first time in camp this year. The Rams need a new No. 3 outside linebacker following the departure of Michael Hoecht in free agency and Jackson is a real candidate to fill that void. CB Emmanuel Forbes Jr. This might be the biggest camp of Forbes' career so far. The former first-round pick fell out of favor in Washington and was cut last season, which led to him landing with the Rams. He arrived in Los Angeles late in the season so he was put in a tough spot, but with a full offseason in 2025, Forbes is set up for success. There's a real chance he makes the 53-man roster and plays meaningful snaps, potentially as the No. 3 or 4 cornerback on the depth chart. The Rams didn't make many moves at cornerback in the offseason, in part because they're confident in Forbes' ability. Follow Rams Wire on X, Facebook and Threads for more coverage!

'Outstanding' Art Deco home in a Glasgow suburb hits the market
The movement's impact quickly spread and in Scotland, architects and designers incorporated features into their work, resulting in fashionable new villas, shops, cafés, and cinemas, many of which remain and now have listed status. (Image: Corum) Located south of the river Clyde in the high amenity suburb of Newton Mearns, Whitegables is an exemplary, flat-roofed detached villa distinguished by its classic Art Deco design and sizeable corner setting on Kirkview Crescent, within beautifully landscaped garden grounds. Built circa 1930, the property has since been extended on one side and provides superb family accommodation spanning more than 2,600 sq ft over two levels. On the ground floor, a striking black and white entrance hall sets the scene, paving the way to a front-facing formal sitting room partially open plan to a dining room, the latter with access into a spectacular 29ft family room with access to a decked terrace and garden beyond. From the family room, an inner hallway gives access to a bedroom with garden access, adjacent storage room, and integral double garage. On the other side of the main reception hall is a cloakroom, study/fifth bedroom, and large, dual aspect dining kitchen with garden access and adjacent utility. (Image: Corum) Upstairs are three beautifully proportioned bedrooms – all of which have a private balcony. In addition, the principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, as does the second bedroom, while the 24ft third bedroom is adjacent to the family bathroom and has the largest balcony – at 32ft wide, it spans almost the full width of the front of the house. Featuring hardwood flooring throughout the main accommodation, the monochromatic interior is dramatic and complements this incredible home's classic Art Deco features – window and door styles, coving, and stair balustrades – and choice of finishes. (Image: Corum) Nowhere is this clearer than the sitting room and kitchen, the former with an elongated, curved bay window, and fluted black and white fireplace, while the integrated kitchen displays pristine white units with contrasting black work surfaces, black geometric tiled border, and dazzling black and white geometric tiled floor. Externally bordered by mature trees and shrubs, the property is set in expansive, level garden grounds incorporating lawns, planted beds, and horseshoe driveway with parking for several vehicles. Whitegables is a truly outstanding home, located in a prime property hotspot with nearby M77/M8 access, and within walking distance of open countryside. Offers over £685,000 are invited by Corum's Newton Mearns office.
