STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Black led 49ers with 14 carries in Week 1 debut; explosive runner who fits scheme and protects well.

The rookie third-rounder had 14 carries for a significant portion of the 49ers' 174 rushing yards in Week 1, leading the team in carries despite McCaffrey's presence. The source notes Black looked quick and exploded vertically for quality gains behind great holes from the offensive line, was able to spell McCaffrey quite a bit, and is a quality pass protector who fits well into San Francisco's ground game. Black's strong debut came after significant offseason discourse regarding the value of his draft position in April.
