Michigan Heisman hopeful Blake Corum used NIL money to donate Thanksgiving turkeys

Blake Corum is one heck of a running back for the Michigan Wolverines, but even if he never rushes for another yard in his college career -- he's a legend for even better reasons.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and while for many it's a time of family, food and football, others aren't as lucky. The family and the football may be there, but a big Thanksgiving meal complete with a big, juicy, turkey is not easy for everyone to come by.

Thankfully, for needy people in Corum's community, the Heisman hopeful clearly has a big heart.

Corum has taken some of his NIL money, something student-athletes have worked hard to finally earn, and is using it to buy Thanksgiving turkeys for those in need in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

If that doesn't warm your heart this Thanksgiving please go to a doctor, because something is clearly not working.

As mentioned, Corum is certainly a Heisman Trophy candidate this season with 1,457 yards and 18 rushing touchdowns, but few things he's able to do on the field will make more of an impact than what he just did for his fellow human beings.
