Kyle Shanahan og San Francisco 49'ers har endnu engang vist deres forkærlighed for at hente løbere i tredje runde af NFL-draften. Med det 90. overordnede valg i årets draft sikrede holdet sig Kaelon Black fra Indiana University.
Black, der tidligere spillede fire år på James Madison University, skiftede i 2024 til Indiana for at følge sin tidligere træner Curt Cignetti. Selvom han ikke var fast starter i 2024-sæsonen, hvor holdet vandt mesterskabet, leverede han alligevel imponerende tal med 1.039 yards på løb og 10 touchdowns. Dermed var han holdets mest scorende spiller på løb den sæson.
I løbet af sin college-karriere på 56 kampe (15 som starter) nåede Black op på 2.595 yards på løb, 17 touchdowns, 55 receptioner for 528 yards og seks yderligere scoringer.
Nu skal han tiltræde et San Francisco-hold, der under Shanahans ledelse har haft stor succes med sine løbere. Med Black i truppen styrkes holdets dybde yderligere i en position, hvor 49'ers allerede har vist sig at være konkurrencedygtige.
