Black's discipline as a runner is impressive. He has zero interest in bouncing runs to the outside, as tempting as it may be. He stays on a vertical path and will pinball off defenders for a positive gain. Another positive trait about Black — that Brian Robinson Jr. couldn't stop doing — was his refusal to stop his feet in the backfield. Black was always gaining ground. One cut and go.

Black's running discipline and vertical path approach show impressive one-cut efficiency.

Black's discipline as a runner is impressive; he has zero interest in bouncing runs to the outside and stays on a vertical path, pinballing off defenders for positive gains. A key positive trait is his refusal to stop his feet in the backfield—he was always gaining ground with one-cut-and-go efficiency. This contrasts with Brian Robinson Jr., who struggled with the same tendency to stop his feet.
