The Las Vegas Raiders are actively shaping their roster ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, and their latest pre-draft visit signals a potential exciting reunion. On Tuesday, the team hosted Indiana running back Kaleon Black, the feature back from the reigning National Champion Hoosiers.

Black was instrumental in Indiana's championship run, posting a strong 1,040 rushing yards with a 5.6 yards-per-carry average and 10 touchdowns during the regular season. He saved some of his best performances for the biggest stage, accumulating 252 yards of offense and three touchdowns across three playoff games.

This visit is particularly intriguing from a team chemistry perspective. The Raiders hold the first overall pick and are widely expected to select Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Adding Black could instantly import a trusted and productive piece of their championship-winning backfield to Las Vegas. He is seen as a potential complementary power back to pair with dynamic starter Ashton Jeanty.

From a strategic draft standpoint, securing Black appears feasible for the Raiders. He is projected as a day-three selection, allowing the franchise to address more immediate needs with their four picks in the top 102. With six additional selections later in the draft, targeting a proven winner like Black in the later rounds could represent significant value and bolster their offensive depth chart.
