Ahead of Thursday's NFL draft, new Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh is reportedly eyeing one of the players from his old Michigan Wolverines team that won the national championship this past season.

ESPN's Dan Graziano reported on Wednesday that Michigan running back Blake Corum is expected to be a top target for Harbaugh and the Chargers with a potential Day 2 pick.

"No running backs are expected to go in the first round, and there's a great variety of opinion on which one will be the first back selected this year," Graziano stated. "I've spoken to scouts from multiple teams who think Michigan's Blake Corum might be the best of the bunch and believe Jim Harbaugh's Chargers will do what it takes to make sure he's reunited with his college coach."

Corum starred for the Wolverines for four years, taking over as the lead back in his junior season in 2022. He ran for a career-high 1,463 yards and 18 touchdowns that year, and he followed that up by recording 1,245 yards and a whopping 27 touchdowns in 2023.

B/R's NFL Scouting Department ranks Corum as the No. 6 running back in the 2024 class in its latest draft big board.

However, the Chargers have a hole at the position following the departure of longtime starter Austin Ekeler this offseason, so it wouldn't be a surprise if Harbaugh takes a swing and selects Corum earlier than anticipated due to the connection they both share from their days in Ann Arbor.
