Draft Scouting Report
Rating: 72.70 (Roster depth)
Pro Comparison: Renell Wren
Summary
Yahya Black is better served in the run game at this point in his career. He does a good job stacking blockers in the run game while following the ball-carrier. He has good lower body mass to hold up at the point of attack. Black does not have the desired first-step quickness and therefore has a limited impact on the pass rush. He can continue developing his moves to formulate more of a plan.
