Season so far
It is very early in the season for Yahya Black, having appeared in only one game for 29 total snaps. In his Week 3 debut against Cincinnati, he turned in a solid 72.8 overall grade anchored by a strong 82.2 mark in run defense. He consistently controlled gaps at the line of scrimmage, notably shedding blocks and splitting a fourth-quarter combo block to record a key third-down stop. His pass-rush performance was more modest at a 65.6 grade across eight rushes, but disciplined pursuit helped him complete the game without registering a single negative grade. Because he has played just one contest, more playing time is required to determine whether his high-level run defense can hold up over a sustained stretch.
