The Raiders are hosting Indiana RB Kaleon Black for a pre-draft visit as they prepare for the 2026 NFL Draft. Black, a key player in Indiana's National Championship win, rushed for 1,040 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.
As we inch closer to the start of the 2026 NFL Draft, the pre-draft visits continue in Las Vegas. Tuesday they are hosting Indiana RB Kaleon Black on his visit.
Black was part of the National Championship Indiana Hoosier football team this past season. He was a big part of the offense, running for 1040 yards while averaging 5.6 yards per carry and posting 10 rushing touchdowns.
Much of his best work was done in the college football playoffs where he put up 252 yards of offense in three games, averaging 5.5 yards per carry and notching three touchdowns.
It's no secret the Raiders would like a complementary back to go along with former sixth overall pick Ashton Jeanty. Black would like to be that back, especially because it would mean following his QB Fernando Mendoza to Las Vegas as Mendoza is expected to be the Raiders selection at number one overall.
Even with several other bigger needs than running back, the Raiders could likely land Black if they wanted to. He is not expected to be taken until well into day three of the draft and the Raiders currently have four picks in the top 102 with which to address more pressing needs and six more picks after that between picks 117 and 219.
