George Kittle praised rookie running back Kaelon Black, selected by the 49ers in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, describing him as “very fast and very mature.” Despite mixed reviews of the draft class, Kittle emphasized the advantages of having an older rookie like Black, who is ready to play and understands the urgency of the game. Black had a standout season at Indiana, rushing for 1,040 yards and 10 touchdowns, and will have opportunities to contribute alongside established players like Christian McCaffrey.
