Kaelon Black brings efficient, between-the-tackles production to Indiana’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Kaelon Black emerged as a high-volume, efficient RB for Indiana, rushing for 1,039 yards and 10 touchdowns on 187 carries while averaging 5.6 yards per carry. His differentiators are power and contact balance—PFF credited him with 21 missed tackles forced and 3.6 yards after contact per attempt—plus reliable ball security with zero fumbles in ESPN’s 2025 game log data. He is best fit for a team that wants a sturdy, downhill runner who can handle workload and create extra yards after contact, even though his passing-game role has been modest.
