Black's vertical discipline and pass protection prowess: 21 yards after contact, three forced missed tackles on eight ca

Black's discipline as a runner is impressive; he stays on a vertical path and refuses to bounce runs outside, pinballing off defenders for positive gains. The source notes this trait—refusal to stop his feet in the backfield—is something Brian Robinson Jr. couldn't stop doing. On eight carries, Black forced three missed tackles, had 21 of his 33 yards after contact, and picked up a pair of first downs. Equally important, Black was a key part of pass protection, picking up a blitz on both opportunities without giving ground. The source calls him prepared and fantastic.
