Black averaging 3.9 YPC, 45th in yards after contact; part of improved 49ers run game.

Black has averaged 3.9 yards per carry through four weeks and ranks 45th in yards after contact. Despite these individual metrics, the 49ers' overall run game has improved to 4.8 yards per carry (seventh in the league) and 8th in rushing success rate, driven by offensive line performance (fifth in yards before contact per rush at 1.93 yards) and scheme wrinkles with Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy's leg mobility.
