Running back Kaelon Black of the Indiana Hoosiers is the San Francisco 49ers’ third-round pick (90th overall) in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Black slept at the airport before taking an Uber from Chicago to Cincinnati for a Top 30 visit April 15 with the Bengals. April 15 was the deadline for top-30 visits.
“Traveling from Las Vegas last night after visiting the Raiders, Black’s connecting flight was canceled at Chicago O’Hare,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero tweeted. “So, he slept at the airport, and the Bengals sent an Uber to drive him early this morning to Cincinnati.”
Earlier in the third round, the Bengals selected defensive back Tacario Davis of Washington.
