From the article

Black had another impressive practice, breaking at least two big runs...Black isn't a hybrid slot receiver like McCaffrey, but he can catch passes, and the 49ers will throw to him. He's a three-down player. But the best thing he does is run the ball, particularly between the tackles. He has the speed to get to the perimeter, but he wants to run downhill. He hits holes between the tackles with zero hesitation, and can squirt through the tiniest of creases. In that sense, he reminds me of Frank Gore.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Black impresses with multiple big runs; three-down player with Gore-like between-tackles running.

Impressive practice performance with multiple big runs; three-down player who can catch passes and will be targeted by 49ers; best skill is running ball particularly between tackles with zero hesitation and ability to squirt through creases; hard-charging style reminiscent of Frank Gore; demonstrated toughness taking helmet-to-helmet hit from Fred Warner, staying down briefly then exploding for 20-yard gain on next play.
