Black, a star last season on Indiana's national championship team, has made a great impression on his veteran teammates... He reminds me a little of JP (Jordan Mason) but with a little more juice.

Black's Week 1 debut earns veteran praise; compared to Mason with more juice.

49ers third-round rookie RB Kaelon Black (No. 90 overall, 2026 draft) impressed in Week 1 debut with veteran teammate endorsement; McKivitz noted Black 'runs hard,' hits holes decisively without hesitation, and compares favorably to Jordan Mason 'but with a little more juice,' indicating the former Indiana national championship star has earned early offensive role and trust despite minor blocking assignment issues.
