Black, a compact 5-foot-10, 208-pound back with the apparent power and verticality that once made Jordan Mason the most successful McCaffrey sidekick. Black had back-to-back runs of eight and nine yards, moving the sticks on his own, and advancing the offense into Chargers territory. The surprise third-round draft pick recorded a respectable 33 yards on eight carries in his preseason debut.

Black shines in preseason debut with 33 yards on 8 carries, moves chains with power.

Rookie running back Kaelon Black, a surprise third-round draft pick standing 5-foot-10 and 208 pounds, recorded 33 yards on eight carries in his preseason debut with back-to-back runs of eight and nine yards that moved the chains and advanced the offense into Chargers territory. His apparent power and verticality—comparable to Jordan Mason's role as a successful McCaffrey sidekick—suggest he can contribute immediately as a short-yardage and goal-line threat.
