Professional career[]

Black was signed by the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent following the 2020 NFL Draft on April 29, 2020.[2] He was waived during final roster cuts, but signed to the team's practice squad the following day.[3] He was elevated to the active roster on October 24 for the team's week 7 game against the Houston Texans and made his NFL debut the next day.[4] Black forced a game-ending fumble that was recovered by the Packers in the 35–20 victory.[5] He was returned to the practice squad following the game without having to clear waivers.[4] He was elevated again on October 31, November 5, and November 14 for the weeks 8, 9, and 10 games against the Minnesota Vikings, San Francisco 49ers, and Jacksonville Jaguars, and reverted to the practice squad again after each game.[6][7][8] On December 8, Black was signed to the active roster.[9]

Black recorded his first NFL interception on October 28, 2021 during a Week 8 win against the Arizona Cardinals, off a pass thrown by Kyler Murray.[10]
