Packers Eye Indiana's Power Runner Black
7 Apr
Summary
- Packers hosting Indiana RB Kaelon Black for pre-draft visit.
- Black transferred to Indiana, scoring 10 TDs in 2025.
- He's projected as a Day 3 pick in the upcoming draft.
The Green Bay Packers have scheduled an official pre-draft visit with Indiana running back Kaelon Black. Black, who transferred to Indiana with coach Curt Cignetti, demonstrated impressive performance during the 2025 season. He achieved a career-high 1,034 rushing yards on 186 carries, scoring 10 touchdowns for the national champion Hoosiers.
Black's collegiate career spanned six seasons, accumulating 2,629 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns, alongside 53 receptions for 488 yards and six receiving scores. Despite a demanding season, he participated in the Senior Bowl and recorded a 4.45-second 40-yard dash at 211 pounds during Indiana's pro day. He is currently rated as the No. 181 player overall, indicating he will likely be a Day 3 draft pick.
While the Packers have established running backs like Josh Jacobs, Chris Brooks, and MarShawn Lloyd, adding depth and competition remains a priority. Black presents a potential Day 3 option for the team. Scouting reports describe him as a competitive runner with good size and aggression, though lacking ideal burst. He could contend for a role as a running back depth piece.
