Black is a no-frills, between-the-tackles grinder who wins with patience, low pad level, and a willingness to punish defenders at the point of attack. He lets blocks develop with veteran discipline, slips through tight creases, and finishes runs falling forward — the kind of back who converts third-and-short and keeps drives on schedule. The receiving profile is nearly non-existent and the lack of home-run speed caps his ceiling as a rotational early-down contributor rather than anything approaching a three-down role. But the pass protection is legitimately plus, the motor never stops, and his Senior Bowl performance nine days after winning a national championship tells you everything about the competitor. He's a roster spot waiting to happen for a team that values reliability over upside.

• 🏎️Patient one-cut runner who lets blocks develop and attacks lanes with decisive burst once committed
• ⚖️Excellent contact balance and low center of gravity — absorbs initial contact and generates consistent yards after contact
• 🛡️Fearless and technically sound pass protector who plays bigger than his size in blitz pickup
• 👑Elite effort and competitiveness — high-motor player whose mentality will endear him to coaching staffs
• 🧤Showed improved receiving skills at Senior Bowl, with reliable hands (one career drop on 53 receptions at JMU)

• 🧤Severely limited receiving profile at the college level — only 4 catches for 36 yards in his breakout 2025 season at Indiana
• 🏎️Lacks home-run speed and explosive breakaway ability — can be caught from behind by faster defensive backs
• −Undersized frame (5-10, 210-215) limits workload projection as a full-time NFL back
• 💨Change of direction and lateral agility are below average, restricting effectiveness in space
