Packers Host RB Kaelon Black for Pre-Draft Visit

0:00It's April 6th. You're listening to NFL News Today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Kori with the story. The Green Bay Packers are bringing in Indiana running back, Kalon Black for an official pre-draft visit this week. Black, who transfer from James Madison and helped the Hoosiers win the national title in 2025, had a breakout year with 100. 86 carries for 1,034 yards, at 5.6 yards per carry, and 10 touchdowns. He followed that up with key scores and playoff wins over Alabama and Oregon, plus 79 yards in the championship against Miami. Over six college seasons, Black piled up 2,629 rushing yards and 17 scores while catching 53 passes. For 488 yards and six more touchdowns. At 5 foot 9 and 2 11 pounds, he's ranked as the 181st overall prospect, pointing to a likely day 3 pick. The Packers already have Josh Jacobs leading the pack, with Chris Brooks and third-rounder

Scout see him as a tough, straight line grinder who breaks tackles, but lacks top burst, perfect for battling for that RB-3 or 4 spot in camp. With a draft just weeks away, this visit can signal Green Bay's plan to bolster the backfield without spending high picks, keeping their run game. Press for another playoff push.
